“Who do I vote for?” is a common question asked during our voter engagement events. OCA Greater Cleveland along with partners Asiatown Cleveland and Asian Services In Action – ASIA hosted a nonpartisan Candidate Meet & Greet: AsiaTown so residents and stakeholders could engage with Cleveland Mayoral candidates Justin Bibb and Kevin Kelley, and Ward 7 Council candidates TJ Dow and Stephanie D. Howse. The event was presented in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and a video is now available online:
Many showed up to get to know the candidates for the vitally important election that will determine the leadership of the city and ward in which AsiaTown is located. The candidates addressed issues important to the neighborhood and Asian community. Each candidate had 10 minutes to introduce themselves and discuss their campaign priorities followed by responding to questions from the audience. Some of the issues of importance discussed include the increase of Asian hate, AAPI representation in City Hall, providing accommodations for AsiaTown seniors to meet and relax, neighborhood safety, and improving the quality of education within the City of Cleveland. After the formal presentation, some of the candidates met with attendees and had grab-and-go dinners prepared by Li Wah, provided by the Feed AsiaTown Initiative.
The event was organized by Lisa Wong – OCAGC President, Karis Tzeng – Director of AsiaTown Initiatives, MidTown Cleveland, Inc., event moderator Joyce Huang – VP of Community Development, MidTown Cleveland, Elaine Tso – Chief Executive Officer, ASIA Inc, with support from many other leaders.
OCAGC and ASIA are part of the AAPI Civic Engagement Network of Ohio (ACE Network).
