Lawmakers who have thrown their support for her include Sen. Mazie Hirono, Rep. Ami Bera, Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Andy Kim, Rep. Ted Lieu, Rep. Grace Meng, Rep. Bobby Scott, Rep. Marilyn Strickland, Rep. Mark Takano, Rep. Jill Tokuda and  Rep. Shri Thanedar. Nonprofits include the AAPI Victory Fund, Asian American Action Fund and ASPIRE PAC. “@VP Harris fights for us all. She leads the fight to restore our reproductive freedoms. She stood up for us to fight anti-Asian hate. When a gunman killed 11 people in my hometown of Monterey Park, she was there to support us. I’m proud to endorse @KamalaHarris for President,” Rep. Chu wrote on X.
