APA Representation Maintained on the Board
By May Chow and Neela Banerjee | AsianWeekWith a victory for Fiona Ma and Bevan Dufty, Tuesday’s run-off election retained the sole Asian Pacific American supervisor on San Francisco’s Board and tipped the scales away from a progressive majority. The Sun Rises Again for APAs In District 4, the Sunset, nine candidates had originally been vying for Supervisor Leland Yee’s seat, which he vacated when elected to the State Assembly. Yee had been the only APA on the Board since 2001. Though it was expected that Ma would receive the Chinese American support in the district, guaranteeing her victory against opponent Ron Dudum, she says she was never overconfident. |

Hoping to encourage more Asian Pacific Americans to run for their local school boards and be more involved in their school districts, the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) sponsored the first ever APA School Board Conference in San Francisco last Friday. Representatives from everywhere from New York City to Cerritos convened at the Marriott Hotel and Moscone Convention Center in downtown San Francisco for three days, discussing issues from the changing APA landscape to exit polls in this year’s elections. But the primary goal for the conference was to enhance and improve educational opportunities for all schoolchildren. Film Fest Hopes to Build Community
