Rep. Chu Statement Celebrating Lunar New Year

February 8, 2016

Today is the start of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Monkey. Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) released the following statement:

“Happy Lunar New Year to those in the United States and around the world who are welcoming the Year of the Monkey! As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let us also honor the vibrant cultural heritage of our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities and celebrate the rich contributions that AAPIs have made in strengthening our nation. As our communities grow, I hope that more states and cities move to make Lunar New Year an official holiday. May the Year of the Monkey bring good fortune, health, and prosperity to all!”
