CAAL News | APRIL 2024

Dear Community,

Voters in St. Paul made history last year by electing an all-female city council. What’s more? The city council also has four members of Asian descent, the most Asian Minnesotans of any city council in the state. This representation is critical for St. Paul as it is home to the second largest Asian American population in Minnesota.

That’s why I’m excited for our upcoming panel this month with St. Paul city council president Mitra Jalali, council vice president HwaJeong Kim, and council member Cheniqua Johnson. As the council starts to set their priorities, it’s critical for them to be responsive to our community needs. What the council decides to invest in impacts each of our lives directly and I invite you to join us to learn how the council functions and share how the council can work better for the people. I hope to see you there. 

You can read all about this work, and much more, in this month’s newsletter. And be sure to sign up to get this content in your inbox.
