Speaker McCarthy released the following statement: “I have known and worked with Vince Fong for over 15 years and have always been impressed by his leadership skills, affability, and work ethic. After being elected to Congress, I hired Vince, who worked his way up to becoming my first district director, and it has been a privilege to watch him serve our community now as a member of the California State Assembly. Being the first Asian American to represent our region in the State Legislature, he has been an effective leader for the Central Valley. As he takes on this additional role, I know he will bring our Central Valley values of hard work and determination to help this commission succeed.” “Having served alongside Rodney Davis for years, I know the caliber of leadership that he brings to the table. Through his time as Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration which oversees the Smithsonian Institution and its museums, Rodney brings a unique expertise and experience – including traveling across the country to help develop the idea of this museum – that will prove to be invaluable to the mission of this commission.” BackgroundAs noted in Public Law No: 117-140, the Speaker of the House shall appoint two members to the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture Act.TopWashington DC Office2468 Rayburn House Office BuildingWashington, DC 20515Phone: (202) 225-2915Fax: (202) 225-2908Bakersfield District Office4100 Empire DriveSuite 150Bakersfield, CA 93309Phone: (661) 327-3611Fax: (661) 637-0867Clovis District Office2187 Herndon AvenueSuite 101Clovis, CA 93611Phone: (559) 701-2530AboutContactE-Newsletter SubscriptionOffice LocationsWebsite ProblemServicesArt CompetitionCommemorative GreetingsConsumer ProtectionDisaster PreparednessFederal Business OpportunitiesFlagsFor BusinessesGovernment ResourcesHelpful ResourcesIdentity TheftInternshipsIn the Event of an EmergencyMilitary PersonnelParentsPassportsSenior Citizens' ResourcesStudent Financial AidStudentsTours and TicketsU.S. Service Academy NominationsVeterans History ProjectVeterans' ResourcesWashington DC VisitorsMediaPress ReleasesIssuesAgricultureEconomyEducationEnergyForeign AffairsGovernment SpendingHealth CareImmigrationNational SecuritySpace and AeronauticsTaxesTransportationValley FeverVeterans IssuesWaterCopyrightPrivacyHouse.gov
