AAA-Fund Endorses Susan Shin-Angulo

September 16, 2009, Washington DC – Asian American Action Fund has endorsed Susan Shin-Angulo for Cherry Hill Township Council in New Jersey.

“Susan will work with a singular focus to listen and respond to the community she cares so deeply about,” said Gautam Dutta, AAA-Fund Executive Director. “She will make a great councilwoman.”

In recent years Shin-Angulo has dedicated herself to the local community. She currently serves on the local zoning board and human relations council, as well as on the board of an area food bank. She is focusing her campaign on reducing spending, expanding recreational services, and keeping the community’s children safe.

Shin-Angulo has been endorsed by the Cherry Hill Democratic Committee for the upcoming election, which will be held on November 3. Shin-Angulo has lived in Cherry Hill for more than ten years and is married with two daughters.

Prior to taking on full-time public service, Shin-Angulo acquired extensive experience in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

Cherry Hill Township is located in Camden County in southern New Jersey and is near Philadelphia. It has approximately 80,000 residents, about 10 percent of whom are Asian American.

With her election, Shin-Angulo would become the first Asian American to serve on the council. She would also be the first Korean American woman elected to public office in the state.

AAA-Fund is a Democratic political action committee whose goal is to increase the voice of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) on every level of local, state and federal government in America. To achieve this goal, we address the chronic under-representation of AAPIs as campaign volunteers, campaign contributors, and candidates for political office. The AAA-Fund has endorsed candidates across the country.
