華人融入主流 支持市長競選

(本報訊)近日在哥倫布華人黃麗英與李興達夫婦創辦的Advanced Engineering Consultants公司,隆重舉辦了支持現任哥倫布市議會主席Andrew Ginther競選哥倫布市市長的活動,這次活動的支持者有華人企業家Jason Liu, 還有其他族裔的Jim Mitchell, Sam Reed And Joe Weithman,大家聯合策划了這次活動。當日哥倫布的各界華人代表前來參與,華人企業家Lisa Huang表示:哥倫布華人日益增長,華人移民基本受過良好的敎育,掌握專業技能,積極組織參與政府活動也是較快投身主流社會的途徑之一。
    當日Andrew Ginther市議員與市政府官,公司工作人員,社會名流以及華人百人前往, 大家相聚一堂,贊助與支持Andrew Ginther參與市長競選,Andrew Ginther表示:哥倫布已經有越來越多的成功華人,希望未來有更多的華人來哥倫布學習與定居,政府與他本人一定會支持華人社區的各項活動。
    黃麗英與李興達夫婦,他們這對工程師夫婦,多年來一直支持政府官員的競選,同時他們也支持華人的各項敎育與體育活動,並且他們也是伊利華報的支持者。黃女士表示:華人在美國其他領域都已經有了不少成就,唯一在政治方面,華人從政的人不多,從政是一件很重要的事情,我們要慢慢改變我們的觀念,積極參與。
     美國的社區服務是美國文化一個重要部分,要融入美國的政治人文經濟,第一步就是社區服務,而十多年前黃麗英女士就參與Dublin競選學區敎育部董事會成員,差幾票沒有選上。但他們夫婦 一直十分活躍並服務社區。目前哥倫布華人人口日益增長,就職于各大公司、銀行、地産業等, 華人的消費促進了當地經濟發展,而消費背後的經濟實力更穩固了華人的社會地位。
