In a truly historic moment on Christmas Eve, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Los Angeles attorney Dolly Gee, as she is about to become the first Chinese-American woman to serve as a U.S. District Court judge. The Chinese American Citizens Alliance congratulates Dolly Gee on this long awaited and richly deserving accomplishment.

Considering the story of her roots as the daughter of immigrants from a small village in southern China, Alliance President Carolyn Hong Chan [陳湯美屏] proudly noted, “Judge Gee’s family story is a common one of Chinese immigrants working hard and long to seek the best for themselves and their loved ones in reaching the American dream. Highly respected in her life work as a prominent attorney in Los Angeles, she demonstrates the perseverance and dedication that we as Chinese Americans can point to as role models for all immigrants seeking to make their contributions to our great country.”
