Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock wins reelection in Georgia, defeating Republican Herschel Walker in a runoff election.
Warnock's victory gives Democrats an outright majority at 51-49, meaning the parties won't have to negotiate a power-sharing deal.

Congratulations to Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on being elected as the next House Democratic leader, becoming the first Black person to lead the House! He will succeed Nancy Pelosi.
CPAC, through its Center for Legislative Accountability, posted a photo of Sukhee Kang (former Mayor of Irvine) on Sen. Min’s profile page, reinforcing the harmful notion that Korean and other Asian Americans ‘look alike’ and are fungible. (2/2)
KADC denounces Conservative Political Action Coalition’s (@cpac) blatant racism in its failure to conduct even the most basic research on CA State Senator @DaveMinCA. (1/2)

KADC joins #AAPI orgs in denouncing divisive & scapegoating rhetoric. The work of elected leaders & their supporters must be grounded in building solidarity & power with Black, Indigenous, & LGBTQ communities. Now is the time to unite & (re)build public trust & strength.
KADC, @AsianDemsLA, and @PilipinoDems jointly condemn racism and anti-Blackness, and call for the resignation of Councilmembers @CD6Nury, @kdeleon, and @gilcedillo. Our communities also demand an investigation into how their comments may have affected the redistricting process.
Interested in getting to know LA Mayoral candidate @KarenBassLA? Join KADC this Saturday at 2:30pm in #Koreatown to talk to her about the issues you care about.

"ROOTS HOLD STRONGER ENTWINED": a labor of love from the two AAPI women artists:
Councilmember Kim is the highest vote-getter in the history of Irvine. The first thing she did was work with the police department to establish an anti-hate incident and hate crime portal in multiple languages.
Thank you for your support & advocacy! ✊️
Thank you to our lovely Councilmember Tammy Kim for being an Activist Sponsor for the 2022 KADC Installation Ceremony.
