About Us
Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders Rising & Empowering Political Action Committee (ASPIRE PAC) is the political arm of the Democratic Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Members of Congress. ASPIRE PAC is committed to supporting candidates of AAPI descent and incumbents who represent large communities of AAPI voters. As one of the only PACs dedicated to investing directly in the AAPI community, ASPIRE PAC offers a voice for the AAPI community and works to mobilize the AAPI vote.
Not only is our community quickly growing, but it is also civically engaged. The 2020 elections saw the AAPI community increase its voter turnout more than any other community of color. That trend continued in the 2022 midterm elections. ASPIRE PAC was a key player in our community’s voter turnout, investing in research and polling of AAPI voters in key battleground districts, running digital communications directly targeting AAPI voters, installing culturally competent on-the-ground field programs in states across the country, and investing in in-language radio, print and canvassing programs targeting AAPI voters.
ASPIRE’s work has a direct impact on mobilizing the AAPI vote. And ASPIRE is committed to winning back the House in 2024 and holding the Senate and White House. We know that meaningful engagement with Asian American voters is critical to winning races up and down the ballot, across the country.
