ELK GROVE, Calif. - Californer -- Steve Ly was America's first Hmong mayor when he was elected in 2016 by the people of Elk Grove and currently serves as the President and CEO of the civil rights organization Asian American Civil Liberties & Anti-Defamation.

For historical context, the Hmong were refugees of the Vietnam war and relocated to the United States.  During the Vietnam war many Hmong people, including Steve Ly's father, rescued American pilots in Northern Laos, protected the United States radar positions, and disrupted the Ho Chi Minh supply chain. The Hmong Americans are heroes who came to America as refugees after the Vietnam war.
