Welcome

Welcome to the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Legislative Caucus website. Here you will find information about the Members and activities of the AAPI Legislative Caucus. There are also resources, such as past publications and legislative priorities, which are provided to assist you in better understanding and connecting with the legislative process.

Accounting for about 16% of the state's population, Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) continue to be among the fastest growing racial and ethnic groups in the state. California is home to about one-third of the nation's AAPI population. As part of the substantial demographic shift in recent decades, the Caucus was founded in 2001 and serves to represent and advocate for the interests of the AAPI community, including increasing AAPI representation and participation at all levels of government.

The AAPI Legislative Caucus will continue to serve, represent, and advocate for the interests of the AAPI community and all Californians. With the continued growth and political involvement of the AAPI community, we hope to continue addressing the needs of this population in order to bring positive changes to our communities. Please contact us with your thoughts and suggestions as they are valuable to us.
