This statement reflects CADC's position on the matter and outlines our commitment to transparency, accountability, and the values that have guided our club for decades.

As a third generation activist in this historic club, I deeply respect the commitment of our elders, who built the first and oldest Democratic club advocating for Chinese Americans and Chinese immigrants in this country. I’m proud of CADC’s legacy—not just in its history, but in how it’s stayed true to its values.

CADC has always stood for independence and accountability. We were the first Democratic club to support the school board recall, to oppose Prop K, and to hold elected officials accountable when they betray public trust. Our decision to join the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio isn’t just about Prop K itself. It’s about something more serious: honesty and integrity.
