These publications endorsed me after going through a journalistic exercise of interviewing all parties and performing the research. As a first-time candidate, I consider it to be both a proud and yet humbling accomplishment that these major publications would ask the public to place their trust in me. Thank you to the The Seattle Times, Northwest Asian Weekly, and the Seattle Chinese Post for your support, and I'll work hard to live up to these endorsements.
