A 'resumé bank' has been created to encourage the hiring of more Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, who are underrepresented in local politics.

A"resumé bank" has been created to encourage the hiring of more Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, who are underrepresented in local politics.During the run-up to the election, Karen Bass and other candidates said they would build diverse staffs. The database is intended to help them make good on their word.
AAPI’s make up about 16% of the population in L.A. County, but that’s not reflected in county or city leadership."We hope that ultimately we get more AAPI elected officials, but until then, we at least want to see diverse staff," said Hoang Nguyen, a former staffer for County Supervisor Hilda Solis who is working on the database.
