So, Ca 45, what should activists understand about this district that they might not if they don't live there? It is a very interesting district. I believe that this district was drawn out or a vietnamese american to represent. This district has a 39% AAPI community, 17% is Vietnamese American. I am the only candidate that speaks fluent Vietnamese. I am the only candidate that understands the complexities of not just the vietnamese community, but just immigrant communities. (04:44–04:53)
