ASIAN CIVIC GROUP APPLAUDS “HISTORIC STEP” TAKEN BY SAN DIEGO REDISTRICTING COMMISSION

SAN DIEGO – The Asian Pacific American Coalition (APAC), a civic organization that has been prominently involved in the local redistricting process, has released the following statement on the eve of the final hearing of the San Diego City Redistricting Commission:

“APAC respects the final map drawn by the San Diego City Redistricting Commission, which is now in the final approval process. We applaud the Commissioners for taking a historic step in the right direction. The first Asian-influenced council district (District 6) has been created, providing new opportunities for political representation for the more than 202,000 Asians & Pacific Islanders that live in the City of San Diego. After more than 40 years of waiting, APAC is eager to see the return of Asian-American representatives to San Diego City Hall.”
