These Asian American Candidates Want to Make America Great Again Politicians from a voting bloc that historically leans blue say they want to ‘expand the boundaries of the MAGA agenda.’ By Peter Savodnik and Kiran Sampath November 5, 2023 Like Comment Share The unofficial headquarters of the Asian American right-wing revolt is a fluorescent-lit basement in New York City’s Chinatown. The basement is littered with flyers and custard pastries and a poster emblazoned with Chinese characters that spell out the words longevity and perseverance. It is the campaign headquarters of Helen Qiu, 53, the single mother-turned-online pastor running for city council. Qiu’s platform is dominated by a single issue: protecting elderly Asians and Jews from a wave of violent hate crimes. “We honor human dignity, we honor our next generation, we honor children, and we honor God,” Qiu told The Free Press. “Now, in the progressive mind, they do not honor these things.” Also on Qiu’s agenda: expanding affordable housing, limiting marijuana use to designated areas, reducing the flow of undocumented migrants to New York, and ensuring the city’s selective public schools retain their SAT-style admissions test, which has long enabled a disproportionate number of working-class Asian students to get in. Like presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy and Hung Cao, running against Tim Kaine for the Senate in Virginia, Qiu marks the rise of a new kind of Republican—one who speaks the language of MAGA (railing against our “endless migrant crisis” and “open border”) but is younger, less angry, more ecumenical, and from a minority group that has historically voted with the Democratic Party. “We’re expanding the boundaries of the MAGA agenda,” Kenny Xu, who is running in the Republican primary in North Carolina’s Thirteenth Congressional District, said in a phone interview.
