Election 2000 QuickGuide

An essential reference for Asian American voters

Research, interviews, and profiles by Neela Banerjee

Welcome to AsianWeek's special feature on elections in 2000.

In this election year, the mainstream media give little if any attention to the issues that matter most to Asian Americans. AsianWeek asked the major party candidates for President of the United States (Al Gore and George W. Bush) and the major party candidates for U.S. Senator from California (Dianne Feinstein and Tom Campbell) to talk about our issues. Read what the candidates have to say -- in their own words -- about immigration issues, affirmative action, Wen Ho Lee, and more.

Furthermore, learn about races around the nation that are key to Asian American representation in our government, from Gary Locke's governorship of Washington State, to Mike Honda's bid for Congress.

Also, for our readers in San Francisco and California, we present: key races in the California Legislature involving Asian American candidates; a listing of all candidates in the San Francisco elections (with Asian American candidates highlighted), and short summaries of the propositions in San Francisco and California.
