休斯敦市長辯論會將在美南電視舉行

經過多時之籌備, 在德州多元族裔聯盟之邀請下， 參加角逐休斯敦市長之六位候選人將於本週六上午在美南電視環球劇場舉行， 這將是一場非常重要而且劃時代意義之政治活動。

休斯敦近年來之工商活動不斷增強，而且正在直追位居第三位之芝加哥 ，尤其是華亞裔旅族群已超過總人口之百分之十， 並且在各種商業活動及學術政界正在展露頭角。

我們期待這場辯論會為華亞裔參政帶來稹極和正面之意義， 這也代表主流社會對我們之重視，更將對族群和諧有非常重要之影響。

市長是執掌未來市政之統帥， 我們正面對之挑戰非常艱鉅， 治安及基建是最迫切之事項 。我們希望共同表達這些關切，為社區之明天共同努力。

Houston Mayoral Debate Will Be Held In Our STV Studio

After much preparation, the Texas Multi Culture Coalition has invited Houston's six mayoral candidates to debate in our STV television studio this coming Saturday and meet our community leaders.

We are so glad that these candidates have agreed to all come to our community to talk about the very critical and major issues we all are facing today.

Over the last decade, many Asian immigrants have moved into the greater Houston area and have created many businesses in our region. The AAPI population now is over 10% in this region. We are so very proud that the positive economic impact on our city is now being felt and getting greater all the time.

The mayor is our leader and decision-maker for our city. Now we are talking about the public safety issue and our city's infrastructure. Both are very serious issues. Whomever becomes our mayor needs to address these critical issues.

We hope all of our community leaders will pay full attention to this debate. It is directly related to the future of our city.
