quincy's got asian american voters

Here's an interesting article from the Boston Globe on politicians in Quincy, Massachussetts reaching out to the city's fast-growing Asian American population: In Quincy, politicians try appeal to Asians. There are now close to 17,000 Asian immigrants in Quincy, and they account for nearly 9 percent of the city's registered voters. Two city council candidates this year are Asian, and although Asian participation in Quincy's local elections has been historically low, the two Chinese American candidates are expected to draw a lot more voters this time around. They want you! And your votes.
