AAAFund Endorses Dr. Richard Pan for Congress in California’s 6th District
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Asian American Action Fund (AAAFund) proudly endorses Dr. Richard Pan for the United States House of Representatives.
A physician, former California State Senator, and respected public health leader, Dr. Pan has dedicated his career to improving healthcare, strengthening public education, and expanding economic opportunity for working families. AAAFund believes his experience and pragmatic leadership make him uniquely qualified to represent one of California's most competitive congressional districts.
For many suburban and middle-class families, the challenges are clear: higher grocery bills, rising gas prices, more expensive family meals at local restaurants, increasing housing costs, and everyday essentials stretching household budgets further than ever before.
"Families want leaders who understand what they're experiencing every day," said Albert Shen, National Chair of AAAFund. "They're concerned about the cost of groceries, filling up their gas tanks, and making sure they can provide for their children. Trump and the GOP Congress has been focused on political drama instead of addressing the affordability challenges facing working families."
Shen added:
"Voters are looking for leaders who will put families first. Dr. Richard Pan has built a career around serving communities, solving problems, and delivering results. This race represents an important opportunity not only to elect another AAPI voice to Congress, but also to flip a critical Red-to-Blue seat that could help determine the future direction of the House of Representatives."
Dr. Pan's candidacy reflects the growing strength of AAPI leadership while offering voters a proven public servant focused on practical solutions, economic opportunity, quality healthcare, and stronger communities.
AAAFund is proud to support Dr. Pan and encourages supporters across the country to help elect a leader who will fight for working families and ensure that Congress better reflects the diversity and aspirations of the American people. Learn more about the campaign here.
