As the countdown to the November 5th general election approaches the three-week mark, current U.S. Congressman Tom Suozzi of New York’s 3rd Congressional District held a rally in Bayside, where he outlined his core policies for re-election. The event drew notable figures, including Chinese-American Congressman Grace Meng, Korean-American City Councilmember Linda Lee, and former Long Island candidate Wei Hua Yan, who joined nearly a hundred members of the Chinese community in chanting their support for Suozzi.

During the rally, Suozzi addressed several key issues significant to the Asian community, emphasizing public safety and law enforcement. He pledged to combat crime and hate crimes targeting Asian individuals and highlighted his unique position as one of the few Democratic candidates endorsed by police unions. In education, he expressed his commitment to supporting specialized high schools, acknowledging the critical importance of education for the Asian community.

Additionally, Suozzi discussed reforming immigration policies, stressing the need for enhanced border security while supporting legal immigration. He also proposed economic measures aimed at reducing living costs, controlling inflation, and addressing taxation.

Confident in his re-election, Suozzi noted that while Long Island’s political landscape has trended Republican in recent years, he received substantial support in the special election held this past February. “I believe they will vote for me again, whether they are Democrats, Republicans, or independents, as they appreciate the policies I advocate. Everyone is tired of the endless partisan conflict,” he stated. He pointed out that his extensive experience and focus on issues important to the Asian community give him an edge over less experienced opponents.

Suozzi admitted to being very concerned about the Chinese Communist Party but emphasized that his criticisms are directed at the government, not the people. “I always cautiously criticize the Chinese Communist Party, never generalizing about the Chinese people. I am committed to protecting Asian Americans from discrimination, as I have witnessed such experiences affecting my father and family. That’s why I work so hard to safeguard the Asian community,” he explained.

He strongly condemned the Republican Party and former President Trump for their negative rhetoric and attitudes towards Asians, noting that such behavior has a profoundly negative impact on the community. Suozzi urged voters, regardless of party affiliation, to support his re-election as he represents a political style focused on practical problem-solving rather than partisan division.
