Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Caucus of NC Dems

Haseeb Fatmi for North Carolina officially launched his campaign and took the oath of office for North Carolina Senate District 18 before a packed crowd of supporters, community leaders, and elected officials.

During his remarks, Senator Fatmi reflected on his parents’ journey from Bangladesh and the sacrifices they made to build a better future for their family. Their story remains a driving force behind his commitment to public service and community leadership.

He also delivered a message that resonated throughout the room: a Democratic blue wave will not happen by itself. It takes volunteers willing to knock doors, make calls, talk to neighbors, and reach voters where they are.

The evening highlighted something that has become a hallmark of Senator Fatmi’s leadership: a genuine passion for connecting with people. Building relationships, listening to communities, and showing up consistently are the foundations of effective public service.

Congratulations to Senator Haseeb Fatmi on his swearing-in and campaign kickoff. Wishing him continued success as he serves the people of District 18 and works to build a stronger North Carolina.

The community showed up. 🙏

Wednesday night, 250+ of us filled the room for our AANHPI Heritage Month Celebration. Families, performers, and 35+ elected officials and candidates, all under one roof.

We danced. We listened. We broke bread across cultures and generations. We watched our young people lead, and our elders beam with pride.

This is what our power looks like. Not in theory, in that room, on that night, in every face that showed up.

To everyone who came, performed, emceed, sponsored, and helped: thank you. You made this. 💙

And now we carry this energy into November. We are just getting started.

Many Cultures. One America. 🇺🇸

Governor Roy Cooper has always understood something important about North Carolina:

Our diversity is not a weakness.
It is our strength.

We were honored that Roy Cooper took time to record this special message recognizing AANHPI Heritage Month and the immense contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities across North Carolina.

From small business owners and healthcare workers to educators, engineers, students, and community leaders, AANHPI communities help power the future of our state every single day.

Governor Cooper’s leadership helped move North Carolina forward with dignity, inclusion, economic growth, and opportunity for all communities.

Now, as he runs for the United States Senate, the stakes are enormous.

This election will shape:

• Healthcare access
• Economic opportunity
• Immigration policy
• Civil rights and protections
• Public education
• The future direction of North Carolina and our country

AANHPI voters are growing rapidly across Wake County and North Carolina, and our voices matter.

Thank you, Governor Cooper, for recognizing our communities and for your continued leadership.

Together, we continue building a stronger and more inclusive North Carolina.

Governor Josh Stein, thank you for opening the People’s House to our community and for your leadership in recognizing AANHPI Heritage Month.

We are deeply grateful for your support in signing the proclamation, hosting the cultural exhibition, and welcoming performances that celebrated the rich cultures, stories, and contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities across North Carolina.

Your commitment to inclusion, representation, and community engagement sends a powerful message that every community belongs and every story matters.

Thank you for helping make this celebration meaningful, visible, and historic for AANHPI communities across our state.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to all those celebrating across North Carolina and around the world.

May this Eid bring peace, happiness, and blessings to you and your loved ones.

November is closer than you think. These are two of the AANHPI candidates we'll be sending to victory.

Mona Singh - Candidate, Wake County Board of Commissioners

30 years in Cary. 130+ U.S. patents. A career built on solving hard problems. Now Mona Singh for Wake County Commissioner is bringing that same mindset to county government, and AANHPI Wake County is rallying behind her.

Sana Siddiqui - Candidate, Raleigh City Council At-Large

Sana Siddiqui is poised to become one of the first South Asian women on Raleigh City Council. Housing, transit, public safety, the issues that decide whether working families can afford to stay in the city they helped build.

Two women. Two ballots. The future of AANHPI political power in North Carolina.

Join us tomorrow night. Cary Senior Center, 6 PM.

AANHPI leadership in North Carolina isn't confined to one town or one community. From Wake Forest to Charlotte, our neighbors are leading.

Mayor Ben C. Clapsaddle - Town of Wake Forest

Ben made history in November when he was elected Mayor of Wake Forest with over 70% of the vote, becoming believed to be the first Asian American mayor in North Carolina history. The son of a Korean mother, Ben spent nearly 30 years in the United States Army, retiring as a Colonel with the Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, and Combat Action Badge. From the battlefield to one of NC's fastest-growing towns, Ben has spent his entire life in service to this country. Now he's bringing that same commitment to people-first leadership for Wake Forest.

Councilmember Dimple Ajmera - Charlotte City Council

Councilwoman Dimple Ajmera has been a leading AANHPI voice on the Charlotte City Council, championing affordable housing, transit, and a Queen City that works for every neighborhood. Her work has helped pave the way for the next generation of AANHPI leaders across NC.

Two cities. Two stories. One North Carolina.

Join us in honoring Ben, Dimple, and other elected officials this Wednesday, May 27.
Cary Senior Center, 6 PM.
