If your application is selected to advance in the endorsement process, you may be invited to an interview with members of the AAAF's staff and community. Please note that AAAF only endorses candidates and races in Georgia. An application does NOT guarantee endorsement and may be dependent on a combination of application review, vetting, candidate interviews, community feedback, and responses from candidates being submitted within requested deadlines.
Please take the time to complete this questionnaire with as much detail as possible. Note that AAAF reserves the right to publicly share responses provided. Incomplete questionnaires or questionnaires that lack detail will not be considered. This application is estimated to take no more than 45 minutes to complete.

OUR HISTORY
Since 2018, AAAF has endorsed candidates who are using their platforms to advocate for policies that protect the best interests of Asian Americans and all marginalized communities in Georgia. We know that elections are not the start or the end of advocacy work, but are one important step in achieving change. We aim to get involved with candidates who are committed to working together with us in office and who are running in highly competitive races where AAAF can make a difference. Once our endorsed candidates are elected, we strive for a co-governing relationship, where our community members’ needs are prioritized and legislators are empowered to make meaningful change on our issues.
ABOUT ASIAN AMERICAN VOTERS
Asian Americans are the fastest growing population and fastest growing electorate in Georgia. In recent elections, AAPI voters have made statewide races competitive with their record turnout, becoming an increasingly important voting block capable of delivering critical margins of victory.
