The Republican National Committee (RNC) opened its fifth Asian Pacific American (APA) community center in Issaquah, Washington, expanding the GOP’s ground game and bolstering strong Washington House and Senate candidates Matt Larkin and Tiffany Smiley.

RNC Co-Chair Tommy Hicks spoke to a packed house on the RNC's investments in reaching the APA community: “The RNC under Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is committed to reaching the Asian Pacific American community and retiring Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in November.”

Republican candidate for WA-08 Matt Larkin, whose district the community center is in, noted the importance of the RNC’s APA-focused engagement in Issaquah and how this engagement will oust soft-on-crime Democrat Kim Schrier and lead to a GOP majority in the House.

This strategic investment in reaching APA voters will make a big difference in November. Asian Pacific Americans make up 24.6% of Issaquah, and APA voters fleeing the radical Democrat Party will be a major reason that Republicans will take back the House and Senate.

“This new community center underscores the Republican Party’s ironclad commitment to engaging with the Asian Pacific American community here in Issaquah. Democrats have taken APA voters for granted for far too long – we want to put down roots in this community, have a conversation, and earn your vote. We look forward to working together to create a better future for our children here in Washington and across the country.” – RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
