Jaypal: Proud Chan eyes to be arrested Snohomish PUD Board
By Staff NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY
Rep. Pramila Jayapal announced that she was arrested on June 28 in Washington, D.C. — during an immigration protest against President Trump’s family separation policies. The protest, organized by the Women’s March and the Center for Popular Democracy, mobilized to speak out against the “inhumane and cruel” zero-tolerance policy of the Trump administration that has led to family separation and children in cages, Jayapal said. In a Twitter video after her arrest, Jayapal said she was “proud” to have been arrested. “As a member of Congress, I refuse to let this president and this administration do what they are doing to children, to parents, to asylum seekers in my name,” she said. About 575 people, mostly women, were charged with demonstrating unlawfully.

CAPAA seeks candidates By Staff NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY
The Washington State Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs (CAPAA) is currently accepting applications for candidates interested in serving on the Commission. The advisory board represent the state’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and ensures their access to
participation in the fields of government, business, education, health, and other areas. Commissioners serve three-year terms and are expected to attend CAPAA’s public board meetings five times a year.
David Chan is running for the Snohomish County Public Utility District (PUD) Board of Commissioners. Chan, a CPA, works with small and large companies to improve efficiency, make better use of their resources, and help improve overall operations. Chan was a Snohomish County Fire District 1 Commissioner for 12 years — he was the chair during the recession and helped the Fire District David Chan come out of the recession financially sound. Chan said he was encouraged to run for the PUD Board. In a statement, Chan said it is time for an outsider to have a fresh pair of eyes with new ideas to exercise more cost control and keep PUD rates low. “Years ago as an outsider, I used my business and finance background to improve the Fire District 1 operation. I can do the same for PUD.” Chan wrote a blog series about becoming a Bernie Sanders delegate that was published in the Northwest Asian Weekly in the spring and summer of 2016.
