Meet Democratic National Committee's Asian American Pacific Islanders Caucus Chair Bel Leong-Hong. The former deputy assistant secretary of defense‚ and now a super delegate from Maryland‚ says Hillary Clinton is a savvy candidate who is ready to assume the country's top job in every way. "Our presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton would be much better for this country. She knows about the national security strategies‚ she knows the relationship with other countries‚ she knows how to govern‚ she knows policies‚ she knows the structure." She emphasized that Clinton has more concrete policy ideas than her Republican rival in areas from business to education. For example‚ she says the Democratic Party is seeking a raise in the minimum wage to 15 dollars per hour‚ from current seven dollars and 25 cents‚ to create a more level playing field in business. The DNC caucus chair also says that she believes the party's Northeast Asia policy will maintain some commonalities with those of the current Obama administration‚ despite language in the latest party platform reflecting the candidate's changed view that free trade pacts with other countries need to be reexamined. "In general‚ I think our candidate will be following a lot more of the current administration's policies in regards to Korea and other countries in Asia. Our candidate is experienced in dealing with South Korea‚ for example‚ and is experienced in dealing in the international theater." The party enjoys particularly strong support from minority groups‚ including Asian Americans‚ based on data from the 2012 presidential election‚ and it aims to build on that going forward. "The Asian American vote represented 74-percent of the Asian Americans that voted for President Obama. We expect to move forward and continue to build on the messages and values our party has to offer." The DNC caucus chair also laid out her hopes for the convention. "Our party's convention will come out with a strong nominee‚ first of all. Secondly‚ from our community's perspective‚ we'll be going to be energizing them‚ so that we're ready to go as soon as the convention's over‚ and we'll going to go fight to win this election." In the remaining months until November‚ the party aims to focus on letting voters in swing states and independents know about the differences in values and governing styles between Hillary Clinton and her rival Donald Trump.
