Grace Meng represents New York’s sixth congressional district in Queens. Born and raised in the borough, she is the daughter of immigrants, and has never forgotten where she came from or who she fights for. Grace is also the first and only Asian American U.S. representative from New York State. Now in her sixth term in the United States House of Representatives, Grace continues to advocate for inclusive policies that benefit the vulnerable and the often overlooked. As New York’s senior member on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, she has secured millions of dollars to improve the lives of working and middle-class families. |
