SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (KABC) --
Hillary Clinton visited Southern California Thursday to reach out to a growing demographic and attend three fundraisers.

She, along with Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) and other Asian American and Pacific Islander community leaders, introduced the "Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Hillary" initiative in San Gabriel.

The initiative is an outreach group that will help her campaign. Chu said Clinton understands the priorities of the AAPI community.

"Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are the fastest-growing racial demographic in the country, yet have too often been denied a seat at the table," Chu said. "With the launch of her National AAPI Leadership Council, Hillary Clinton is recognizing the importance of engaging with our community in a way that no other candidate has."

Chu, who is the chairwoman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus,

That's our gal--never taking anything for granted.

1. Wow, she must be pulling out all stops. They must be in full panic mode at this point. nt

[RandySF]

2. Yeah, why else would anyone care about Asian American voters? *sarcasm*

I remember, when NYC mayor Bloomberg had almost no opposition for election, he still put ads in Chinese language newspapers.

3. It is not the reaching out that prompted me to post. It is the fairly scarce mention

of those constituencies. Usually you see this kind of headline near the end of campaign, not prior to the first primary vote being cast.

[RandySF]

5. It's a huge chunk of the California electorate.

[riversedge]

9. Hillary is in California FYI. Now you know.

[LuvLoogie]

7. Well she has conceded the Trumpecist reach-out to Jeff Weaver's operation.

So panicky...

[LannyDeVaney]

11. Pathetic

I guess I'll let all my Asian-American friends know that anybody looking out for their interests is in "panic mode".

[Person 2713]

14. Really ! The comments you replied to-How insulting to Asian American voters

[onehandle]

13. Being 95% likely to win the primary creates quite the panic. nt

[lunamagica]

4. If she works for it, she's in full panic mode. If she doesn't she's "entitled" and expects

a "coronation".

So, which is it?

Come on, make up your minds.

[riversedge]

10. Oh, they have a whole binder filled with smackdowns.

[LannyDeVaney]

12. No doubt ... they reply within minutes of the article ...

no way they even read it.

Again, pathetic.

[Ed Suspicious]

6. Bernie reaches out to everybody.

[RandySF]

8. Some on this board ignore the difference between desperation and covering one's bases.

NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg had next to no opposition in one race for re-election and he STILL printed ads in Chinese language newspapers. Was he desperate?

[mwrguy]

15. What's Korean for "abuela"?

[riversedge]

17. I am sure you can do your own work and find out.
