A lot of things happened today but I want to take a minute to make a political endorsement. I can’t vote for him—I don’t live in his district. But in these times, we need leaders in Congress committed to profound change. And @TomWongPhD, running in #CA53, will be such a leader.pic.twitter.com/CRQd5mHiT5
Tom found out he was undocumented at 16, when applied for a drivers license. Two years later, his high school girlfriend—Rose Bloomberg-Rissman—proposed to him as he was being forced to leave the US. They married and are still together, with triplet sons. https://www.kpbs.org/news/2013/jan/09/tom-k-wong-life-undocumented-youth/ …pic.twitter.com/CPTcpxBzXc
He became a professor of political science at UCSD, and is today one of the nation’s foremost experts on immigration. His research has exposed massive abuses of asylum seekers—and fueled numerous court cases to halt Trump’s horrendous policies.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/29/he-was-undocumented-now-hes-exposing-detention-center-abuse …
An advisor to the White House Initiative on Asian Americans during the Obama administration and now Director of the US Immigration Policy Center at UCSD, Tom filed to run for the #CA53 Congress seat after Susan Davis announced her retirement.https://www.kpbs.org/news/2019/nov/20/ucsd-professor-tom-wong-announces-bid-53rd-distric/ …
Polls show @TomWongPhD as a winnable 2nd in the Dem primary for the district—and he’s committed to the door to door work needed to get him over the top. #CA53 is 13% Asian and 32% Latinx, with a growing Muslim population. His focus on immigration makes him a formidable candidate.
But @TomWongPhD faces a big money challenge (his main rival is the daughter of a tech mogul) and a Dec. 31 fundraising deadline that literally means everything for his campaign. Please donate to him if you can. I just did—and will again before 12/31:
