Tamlyn Tomita, Chair of CAPA21, announced CAPA21’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for President. CAPA21 previously endorsed Biden-Harris in April 2023 and renewed its endorsement earlier this month.

“Vice President Kamala Harris is uniquely prepared to lead us in prosecuting Trump and Project 2025,” said Tomita. “She is a tireless champion for our freedoms and the leader we need in this historic moment when we’re faced with a possible MAGA dictatorship. We’re also excited by the prospect of Kamala Harris breaking barriers as America’s first woman, first Black woman, and first Asian American to serve as President.”

CAPA21 is a California-based political action committee serving the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities with roots in the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans, founded in 1987 as one of the country’s first Asian American PACs. In addition to Tomita, the CAPA21 board includes Dale Minami, Maeley Tom, and Ginger Lew.

With President Biden, Vice President Harris led a sweeping proactive agenda and transformed people’s lives for the better. In the Senate, she was a fierce advocate, taking on the corrupt Trump administration and protecting our families from attacks on our freedoms. As Attorney General of California, she prosecuted corrupt CEOs and corporations to protect our freedom to get the care we need, without the fear of going bankrupt from it. 

We’re grateful to President Joe Biden for this opportunity to tell a new energizing story uplifting the incredible progress we’ve made and the dangers of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.

Joe Biden has put our country first throughout his entire career. The Biden-Harris team led our country and encouraged the strongest economy in the world, lower prescription drug prices, expanded access to affordable healthcare, passage of the first gun safety law in 30 years, and the most significant climate legislation in world history.

President Biden helped protect us from the dangers of a second Trump presidency in 2020 and after four years of post-pandemic recovery, landmark legislation, and real gains for people’s lives, we will see Joe Biden as one of America’s most successful presidents and honor him for being responsive to the people and doing what is best for our country. This is the ultimate act of statesmanship, cementing President Biden as a steady hand through the chaos and a bridge to a brighter future.
