Fighting for Asian Americans in Iowa

Billionaires and mega-corporations are stealing from all of us. For decades, politicians have promised relief while quietly shifting the tax burden away from the ultra-wealthy and onto working people. The result? Stagnant wages, skyrocketing costs, and a system rigged against everyday Iowans.

Asian Americans, especially immigrants, are often stuck in underpaid and overworked industries—whether it’s restaurant work, gig jobs, or small family-run businesses. Many are expected to work long hours for little pay, while corporate chains and landlords squeeze them with rising rents, fees, and unfair policies.

It’s time to put working families first. I will fight for fair wages, protections for small business owners, and an end to discriminatory policies that unfairly hold Asian Americans back in education and the workplace.

Stronger Labor Protections for Underpaid Workers

Many Asian immigrants and workers face low wages, long hours, and few workplace protections. From restaurants to gig jobs, these workers are expected to put in grueling shifts while companies cut corners on safety, pay, and benefits.

I will fight for stronger labor protections, including fair pay, overtime enforcement, and an end to wage theft. Every worker, regardless of their immigration status or industry, deserves basic protections against exploitation.

Support for Asian-Owned Small Businesses

Many Asian Americans run small businesses, from family-owned restaurants to local shops. But while billion-dollar corporations get tax breaks and subsidies, these small businesses are left struggling with rising rents, unfair loan practices, and a lack of government support.

I will push for low-interest loans, rent protections, and grant programs specifically designed to help small business owners succeed. No one should be priced out of their own business while giant corporations buy up entire neighborhoods.

Ending Discrimination in College Admissions

Asian American students are expected to score higher than any other group just to have the same chance of getting into top colleges. Colleges openly discriminate against Asian applicants, limiting admissions despite their academic achievements, while billionaires buy their way in.

I will fight to end race-based discrimination in college admissions and ensure that all students are judged fairly—by merit, not by a quota system that punishes success.

Fighting Hate Crimes and Discrimination

Hate crimes against Asian Americans have surged in recent years, yet too often these crimes go unpunished. Meanwhile, politicians use fear and division to keep working people fighting each other instead of fighting the real problem: corporate greed and political corruption.

I will push for stronger protections against hate crimes and enforce stricter penalties for attacks on Asian American communities. No one should live in fear because of their race, nationality, or background.

Our Plan for Asian American Families

  • Strengthen labor protections for underpaid workers in service, gig, and manufacturing industries.
  • Provide low-interest loans and rent protections for small business owners.
  • End discriminatory college admissions that unfairly hold back Asian students.
  • Enforce penalties for hate crimes and protect vulnerable communities.
  • Make billionaires pay their fair share to support programs that help working families.

The system is rigged against working people while billionaires buy their way into every opportunity. My campaign is about fighting back—ensuring fair wages, fair education, and fair treatment for all Asian American families.
