Summary
Pei-te Lien and Nicole Filler examine the scope and significance of the rise of Asian Pacific Americans (APA) in US elective office over the past half-century. Drawing on an original dataset of APA electoral participation and in-depth interviews with elected officials, Lien and Filler take an unprecedented look at APA officials' trajectories to office, their divergent patterns of political socialisation, the barriers and opportunities they face on the campaign trail, and how these elected officials enact their roles as representatives at local, state, and federal levels of government.
