AANHPI Voices in Nevada
In honor of AANHPI Heritage Month, community members and leaders went to the Nevada Legislature in Carson City to speak directly to their representatives about the issues impacting them and to highlight the voices of hard-working AANHPI communities across the state.
For the first time in 2023, we saw a significant increase in AANHPI legislators serving in office as a part of the AANHPI Legislative Caucus.
During AANHPI Heritage & Lobby Day, community members and leaders went to Carson City to speak directly to their representatives about the issues impacting them; notable guests in attendance included all seven AANHPI legislators and other special guests, including the Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor. The AANHPI Nevada Legislative Caucus shared a bipartisan dinner at the Governor's Mansion featuring a keynote speech by Justice Patricia Lee, the first AANHPI Supreme Court Justice for Nevada.
The event celebrated the beginning of AANHPI Heritage Month by making the voices of hard-working AANHPIs across the state heard at the Nevada Legislature. The event also recognized the growing political voice and power of Nevada's 392,000 AANHPIs, which comprises roughly 12.5% of the state's total population and accounts for one in every ten voters. The 2022 election showed how important the group was in many close races—AANHPIs now have the power and numbers to be the voice of change in Nevada.
