More than ever, we need solutions that are:
1) attuned to fast-changing social/political dynamics
2) grounded in data, narrative, action (DNA) and strategic foresight

In 2025, I'll focus my energies on advancing:
→ innovations in US federalism
→ accurate narratives about AAPI communities

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the uninsured rate among Asian Americans dropped from 16% to 6% and from 17% to 11% among NHPIs.

The ACA saved lives. Unless Congress extends the ACA tax credits, millions of lives will be at risk next year.

We need just 4 Republicans to join Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits and lower costs.

Republicans have been on vacation for OVER A MONTH.

They need to come back to D.C., reopen the government, and DO THEIR JOBS.
