personal messageI have spent my life working closely with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. I was raised in both Hawaii, a majority AAPI state, and Indonesia and Asian Americans are close members of my multi-racial, multi-ethnic family. I have spent my career in Springfield and Washington working on behalf of Illinois' vibrant and diverse AAPI communities. I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children's health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism. Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.
