Asian Americans in the Running: Cinda Danh

Lacy Lew Nguyen Wright - October 23, 2019
Lynn, Massachusetts is home to the third-largest Cambodian American population in the country. 28-year old Cinda Danh could become their first Asian American city councilor.

28-year-old Cinda Danh was born and raised in Lynn, MA. Over those 28 years, not one single candidate has ever knocked on her door. Nine months into her campaign for Ward 6 councilor on the Lynn city council, she’s knocked on 15,000 doors to date. For many, she is the first one to ever come speak to them.
