In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Healthcare policy is a main priority to what I am focused on accomplishing in Congress,”
“They do not want these corporations to provide notice of what exactly they're doing in these communities. They don't want to tell us what kind of chemicals they're using, what type of products they're making,”
“I've moved on to the next step, which is making sure GKN comes back to our community and justify why they deserve to stay in our community. They have a lot to answer to and for,”
“There are residents who want to know why they were living with these chemicals and this factory right in their backyard,”
“I voted to ensure that those committing crimes, no matter their immigration status, are held to a standard of justice under the law – including individuals who assault law enforcement officers or violently harm others,”
“I think the stories we each bring is our own, and I do think at the end of the day, our community is going to vote on not just that we are Vietnamese American. They are going to look at our experience,”
Show all 14 statementsShow fewer
“I’m not done serving my community. That’s why I’m in this race to run for reelection,”
“There is certainly more work to be done, I support commonsense policies that seek to improve mental health services and ensure that our officers have the resources they need to perform their duties safely and effectively.”
“I think cultural politics does play out, especially in communities and districts like mine. We're a majority minority district, you know, about 20 something percent Vietnamese Americans and 20 something percent Hispanic. You can't win without winning over these folks that are leaders in the Vietnamese community, leaders in the Hispanic community, and talking about the issues that are important to them,”
“My constituents has already been really stressed with prices at the grocery store and the gas pump. Now that, you know, that extra 40, 50 cents a gallon is driving them with more anxiety, with more stress, it's not fair for them. It's not right - all because we're entering into a war that we should have never been part of,”
“I want to work with Democrats, Republicans. It doesn’t matter to me other than ensuring we serve the people who elected us to do so.”
“My parents were Vietnamese refugees, so the situation that our immigrant community is going through is something I deeply care about,”
“In a few months, we have the 50-year anniversary since the fall of Saigon, and that’s something that’s so deeply held in the Vietnamese community. It caused them to lose their homes, caused that huge migration shift to the U.S., They want a voice in D.C. with someone who shares that same background and those stories.”
“There’s going to be MAGA, far-right Vietnamese Republicans that, you know, we’re not going to change their mind, But I have Trump supporters who are going to vote down-ballot Democrat for me.”
