"I've always said the Republican Party is the Grand Opportunity Party," said Kim, who flipped a House seat to GOP control in 2020. "Having somebody like me giving the woman's perspective, the small business perspective, the immigrant perspective — the appreciation will go far in terms of legislating and creating policies that will create jobs."
Republicans say part of the reason they have to make the choice at all is because Democrats who control the House decided at the beginning of this Congress to pare down the size of the Financial Services Committee by six seats, preventing the GOP from populating the panel with a more diverse group of members.
Waters, who became head of the Financial Services Committee in 2019, created a diversity subcommittee and has focused her agenda on expanding economic opportunities for underserved communities. They'll have to overcome bids by the more junior members Kim and Donalds, who were elected to Congress for the first time last November.who in 2020 was one of the first Korean-American women elected to the House. Before joining Congress and serving in the California State Assembly, she was an aide to now-retired Rep. Ed Royce , who was a senior member of the Financial Services Committee. She also worked as a financial analyst and owned a women's wear firm.
Before winning a House seat last year, Donalds worked in finance in Florida and served in the Florida House of Representatives. He is one of only two Black Republicans in the House, but he said diversity is not part of his pitch for the Financial Services Committee.
Kim forgot to add that the Republican Party is the Grand Opportunity Party for those with money and connections. So it’s an omission and not an out and out lie.
Diversity is woke concept.
They'll do the wrong thing no doubt. 🧐
