Judy Chu was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009, becoming the first Chinese American woman to serve in Congress. Representative Chu has chaired the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and also helps lead the Tri-Caucus, a joint effort with the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. One of her proudest accomplishments has been to introduce and pass a Congressional resolution of regret for the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
