In celebration of the Lunar New Year, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, DNC Vice Chair Tammy Duckworth, and DNC AAPI Caucus Chair Bel Leong-Hong released the following statement:

“Democrats wish a happy Lunar New Year to all those celebrating. In communities across our country, the Lunar New Year is a time for joyful optimism and renewal as we reflect on the year past and look forward to the year ahead. It is also an opportunity to celebrate our diversity from the rich traditions and important contributions AANHPI communities have made to our country. The Year of the Rabbit represents peace, prosperity, and hope – and we wish that for families everywhere in the new year.”
