三藩市: 甘大為競選加州議員 力推停止仇恨亞太裔

2022年3月28日 (天下衛視記者報導）

三藩市地檢處幕僚長加州第17選區眾議員候選人甘大為（David Campos）上週五在華埠舉行競選活動表示將進一步推進停止仇恨亞太裔運動。前三藩市參事會主席余鼎昂前第一區市議員李麗嫦以及Harvey Milk LGBTQ俱樂部副主席Raya Sarkar到場支持

"I am going to make sure that we as a state know everything we can to fight and prevent anti-Asian hate. It's going to be something that will be a top priority for me, and it will be a priority because it's very personal for me."

甘大為表示身為第一代少數族裔同性戀移民，他知道被當做仇恨的目標是什麼樣的感受更能深切體會當前針對亞太裔的仇恨犯罪給社區帶來的傷害。甘大為承諾如果成功當選州眾議員將與丁右立合作為亞太裔社區爭取更多資金應對仇恨犯罪問題

"And I look forward to working with organizations, including the Chinese Historical Society, on how that funding should be allocated. "

甘大為強調公共安全是重中之重，他提議從亞裔社區中招募警察，並確保加州的每個社區都有多元化警察部隊

"We need to recruit out of these communities. We need to make sure that the people who come from these communities, like Chinatown, are the ones that are actually policing and patrolling the streets because they need to be connected."

他還計畫在丁右立AB 1947法案的基礎上再接再厲要求每個司法管轄區都採取應對仇恨犯罪的政策並確保正確執行

4月19日加州眾議員職位的決選臨近初選的四位候選人中只有甘大為與楊馳馬角逐此職位
