The draft maps split West San Gabriel Valley cities (WSGV) and East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV) cities with significant AAPI populations into multiple congressional districts.

Key Points: 
  • The draft maps split West San Gabriel Valley cities (WSGV) and East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV) cities with significant AAPI populations into multiple congressional districts.
  • In these drafted commission maps, the AAPI community would face an uphill battle to elect a representative from their own community and reverse four decades of progress by community coalitions and partnerships.
  • A burgeoning AAPI community is identifiable in ESGV by retail plazas with AAPI businesses, AAPI churches and temples, and AAPI language schools.
  • As the deadline to finalize redistricting maps approaches, we strongly urge the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to right this wrong in the next release of draft maps and protect the right of both the WSGV AAPI community and the ESGV AAPI community to political representation.
