GREAT NECK, N.Y. – Today, inside the bustling Tour le Jours bakery in Great Neck, Congresswoman Grace Meng proudly announced her endorsement of Weihua Yan for Nassau County Legislature. This monumental endorsement was made alongside other esteemed Democratic elected officials and candidates from Nassau County, highlighting the collective support for Yan’s candidacy. If elected, Yan would become the first Asian-American to hold a seat in the Nassau County Legislature, representing the 10th Legislative District, which is home to a significant Chinese-American population.
Congresswoman Meng, a highly respected leader in the Asian-American community and a staunch advocate for diverse representation, expressed her strong endorsement of Yan’s campaign, and pledged to support his efforts to flip the 10th Legislative District.
