Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), an Associate Member of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, announced the passage last week of a resolution she helped introduce recognizing the month of October as Filipino American History Month, celebrating the history and culture of Filipino Americans, and honoring their contributions to the United States.
"In Nevada, and across the country, Filipino Americans are members of our military, health care workers, business leaders, and an integral part of our community," said Senator Rosen. "Filipino Americans make up nearly half of the Silver State's AAPI community and are among the fastest growing minority groups in Nevada. I am proud to support the passage of this resolution which recognizes and celebrates the many great contributions Filipino Americans have made to our state and our nation."
