On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we continue our series on different voter blocs.




Over the past 20 years, Asian Americans have been the fastest-growing group of eligible voters in the United States. In the past four years alone, they’ve added 2 million eligible voters. Among this diverse group are diverse political opinions. Show host Rose Scott speaks with Asian Americans representing advocacy groups and both major political parties. We’ll also speak with a panel of Asian American voters about what matters most to them this election cycle. 




Guests Include: 




Christine Chen, the executive director and co-founder of Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote 

 

Victoria Huynh, the founder and chief community organizer for Georgia AAPI Hub
