For our first series, we will be focusing on Asians in The Political Field as the general election on November 23rd 2020, nears in the United States. For this series we will be interviewing different Asians in The Political Field to empower the Asian community to get more involved with politics as well as vote in not just this year's general election but all elections in the future as well. 

For the first episode, listen in as our hosts, Lisa Wong and Sandy Chen, interview our special guest, Alex Lee. Alex Lee (李天明) is a 25-year-old progressive Democratic candidate for State Assembly in California's Bay Area who has served as a legislative policy advisor in the Senate & Assembly. While rejecting all corporate money and being outspent 15 to 1 by his primary opponents, his grassroots progressive campaign beat out 7 other Democrats. If elected in November, Alex would be the youngest state legislator in almost a century, the first openly bisexual state legislator, and first GenZ legislator in California history. 

We hope you enjoy this meaningful conversation as Alex shares his journey in his political career as a part of the young, queer, & Asian community, maintaining mental health, and the importance of voting.
