July 6 - July 12, 2000
Members of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders held a press briefing last Friday at the headquarters of the San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action, touting their efforts and urging the community to get involved in commission-sponsored town hall meetings, which begin this month. It’s no surprise the commission conducted the press briefing in California. About 40 percent of the API population reside in the state. Four of the fifteen commissioners, in fact, are California natives, including Tessie Guillermo, Jonathan Leong and Norman Mineta, who chairs the committee. Mineta, however, was recently nominated by President Clinton as Commerce Secretary, and will resign from the commission if he receives Senate confirmation for the Cabinet post.

CLAIMING THE ASIAN SEAT: What is currently Kevin Shelley’s political home, the 12th Assembly District, could be home to an Asian American successor to represent the most Asian American district in the state in 2002 when he terms out. Or, it could happen this year in a special election. The scenario: State Senator Jackie Speier is appointed to replace Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush. Shelley vacates his Democratic Assembly seat for Speier’s. Then one of four likely Asian American candidates takes Shelley’s seat.
