RNC Statement on Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

WASHINGTON - Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month:

"This month, we honor the history, culture, and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans. The AAPI community has played a vital role in making America what it is today-from the small business owners strengthening our economy, to healthcare workers keeping Americans safe, to those serving in the military to defend our freedom, and to families raising their children with strong principles and patriotism. AAPI families exemplify the American spirit of hard work and perseverance, and we celebrate and honor their incredible contributions to our country today and throughout the entire month of May."
