Grace Meng
Grace Meng, the dynamic U.S. Representative for New York's 6th congressional district since 2013, has made quite an impression as the first Asian American woman elected to Congress from New York. Born and raised in Queens, Meng transitioned from local politics in the New York City Council to tackling national issues in Washington. Known for her advocacy on healthcare, immigration, and women’s rights, Meng has become a formidable voice on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, addressing both local concerns and global matters with equal fervor. Her passion for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community shines through her work combating hate crimes and securing local funding, proving that she’s not just making waves but creating a tidal wave of positive change.
