According to Kaur, the campaign's efforts in reaching these voters is much like the campaign's overarching strategy; it's about grassroots organizing that builds on inroads made during Sanders' 2016 run.

Faiz Shakir, Sanders' campaign manager, is Pakistani American; California U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, who was born to Indian immigrants, is a national co-chair of the Sanders campaign; Jane Kim, a former San Francisco supervisor and the first Korean American elected official in the city's history, serves as the campaign's California political director. The campaign has also secured state and local endorsements from Asian American and Pacific Islander elected officials in several states.
"I have no doubt that Bernie will appoint qualified people of color into his administration -- that's what he's doing throughout his campaign," said Wong."And representation matters, right? People making decisions on behalf of other people like them is how democracy should work." "We are meeting people where they are and in the language they speak," said Anna Bahr, a spokesperson for the campaign.
