The Republican National Committee (RNC), led by chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is establishing a five-figure digital and print ad campaign in May, which is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Month, and the organization says it’s an addition to a multi-million dollar investments in minority communities.

She said that’s the platform she ran on brought her victory. “I think the fact that I won and more minorities won and veterans, dynamic candidates also won shows that the American dream is alive and real and that lowering taxes, expanding opportunities, empowering and protecting communities resonate with many Americans of all walks of life, especially including the AAPI community.”

The congresswoman also highlighted that “Asian American issues are American issues” and that mainstream crises of rising inflation and gas prices, skyrocketing crime, and increasing living costs impact the AAPI community like other communities across the U.S.
Steel said that rising gas prices are of particular concern among Asian Americans and, based on her own experience speaking with voters, they correlate with Republican issues and concerns.
