The Democratic National Committee today announced a new advertising campaign to mobilize and educate Filipino American voters in Arizona through the Filipino American Journal. The print ads will direct voters to IWillVote.com, the DNC’s voter education website, in an effort to boost voter turnout among Filipino Americans as early voting continues in state. 

In Arizona, the race for President is in a dead heat between Democratic candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump. AAPIs account for nearly 5% of the electorate in Arizona and could make up the margin of difference this November. 

Filipinos are the largest AAPI ethnic group in the state, with more than 70,000 Fil-Ams residing across Arizona. On top of that, more than half of eligible AAPI voters in Arizona live in critical Maricopa County. The DNC’s new ad campaign is the latest effort among Democrats to rally the AAPI vote as voting gets underway across the state. 

“Democrats are meeting AAPI voters where they are by making historic investments to ensure AAPIs in Arizona and across the country have the information they need to make their plan to vote,” said DNC Chair Tom Perez. “The stakes have never been higher — especially for AAPI communities — and we are committed to making sure voters have the tools to make their voices heard at the ballot box, and elect leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who will fight to build a brighter future for AAPI families.”
