A better America is possible—and it can start today. We can elect leaders who have the lived experiences of the people they represent.

This Saturday, June 28 is Virginia's 11th Congressional District’s firehouse election. This is our chance to throw out the playbook and try something new.

Polls are open from 7 AM to 7 PM, and since this is a firehouse primary, your polling place will be different.

With 2 days till the firehouse primary, we’re lacing up our shoes for the final stretch of canvassing. #TeamIrene is ready to create real generational change in Virginia-11!

Democrats need to stand up as the opposition party. This is our moment for real generational change. I’m not afraid to stand up to defend our democracy and shape our government to be more reflective of the people.

This is a moment of generational change in the Democratic party. We need to change our mindset, try something new, and elect leaders who can connect with voters over the same lived experiences.

Establishment leaders aren’t rising to meet this pivotal moment.

I’m running for Congress to rebuild the ashes of what Trump is burning down, while creating a new vision for our future.

“Given her experience as a Delegate in the General Assembly, we believe Irene will help us build a more just economy and restore trust in our public institutions.”

Trust in our government is at an all time low, but I know we can get back on track. Thank you Korean Americans for Organizing!
