Tomorrow is the Philadelphia Primary. This is a critical time for our city and there’s some significant folks besides the mayoral candidates that AsiAms should take note of. As a pastor in the Philadelphia Chinatown community, a few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting possibly the first Asian American City Councilman, Andy Toy (D) at a banquet sponsored by the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation where Mr. Toy serves as Chairman. Now I’m not going to say much because my goal is not to endorse candidates here on this blog or in my local church body even though I may feel more strongly about one over another. I just thought that I’d mention that there are two AsiAms in the race for City Councilman. The other candidate is David Oh (R). The man was a green beret in desert storm and he loves his Bible apparently.

Thanks for telling your readers about the Philadelphia primary for City Council At-Large. I ran 4 yeas ago as a first-tme candidate and surprised the experts, who said an Asian American candidate would not receive more than 20,000 votes, by receiving 99,000 votes. I just got past the Primary and am looking forward to winning in the General Election.
