In Congress, Grace serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, where she is New York’s senior member and is the Vice Ranking Member.

Grace has proudly passed several pieces of her legislation into law. This includes legislation on several important issues affecting the lives of her constituents – from laws supporting religious freedom, making Queens historic sites part of the National Park Service, striking “Oriental” from federal law, protecting public housing residents from insufficient heat, championing improvements to broadband and internet access for students across the country to help close the homework gap, and establishing the first step in creating a national museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture. Also signed into law were her measures to assist veterans and members of the military, and provisions to improve consumer protections and safeguards for children.

Additionally, in order to combat the rise in hate and violence that increased during the coronavirus pandemic, Grace passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law.

New Legislation

Issues

Source: Government page

Economy and Small Business
Stable, well-paying jobs and thriving small businesses are the foundation of a healthy economy. In Queens especially, small businesses are vital to our communities. In Congress, I have consistently worked to make sure that small businesses have the resources they need, including the federal funds that assisted restaurants and small businesses in staying open through the COVID-19 pandemic. I am also committed to working to expand our economy and ensure that it benefits all families, and I’m proud to support legislation that would increase job growth, increase America’s competitiveness, strengthen worker’s rights, and create high-paying jobs. The Inflation Reduction Act, which I helped get signed into law in 2022, paved the way for quality union jobs in the clean energy industries, while also increasing pathways to training for other skilled labor professions.
Education and Broadband Access
Ensuring that every child has equal access and opportunity to receive a quality education and pursue academic success is vitally important. I have long championed the issue of broadband accessibility and closing the homework gap for students by creating the Emergency Connectivity Fund to provide internet access to students throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic and beyond. I have also adamantly fought for an increase in resources for our education system. We know America’s schools are underfunded and teachers are underpaid, which puts our children at a disadvantage.
Health
Every American deserves access to affordable and quality health care. Although our nation’s health care system is one of the best in the world, it is a shame that we are unable to guarantee access and affordability for so many of our citizens. Representative Meng is working in Congress to ensure access to affordable, high quality health care.
Immigration
Queens is the world’s borough and has a vibrant immigrant community that adds to our diversity and culture as a city. America is a country founded, built, and improved by our immigrant communities. Today our neighbors come from all around the world, and that is why I am committed to ensuring America remains a welcoming place for immigrants so they too can have their shot at the American Dream.
Menstrual Equity
The lack of access to safe and affordable menstrual products is a hidden inequity that is often forgotten or overlooked. Period poverty impacts countless women and girls across our country. I first learned about period poverty from a young constituent, and since then I have been proud to work on menstrual equity in Congress. My bill, the Menstrual Equity for All Act, aims to provide women and girls with affordable menstrual products in their schools, workplaces, and wherever else they might need them. Menstrual equity is a health care and a human right, and this bipartisan issue simply deserves more attention and action to make it a reality.
Seniors and Social Security
After a lifetime of hard work, seniors deserve to know that the promises of Social Security and Medicare will be upheld. Social Security is a vital safety net into which seniors have already paid. It lifts 22 million people out of poverty, including 15 million senior citizens.
Veterans
We owe our nation’s veterans a debt that can never be repaid. The men and women that selflessly protect our nation and risk their lives for our values will always be held in the highest honor and with the most respect. I will always fight for legislative initiatives to support our veterans.

Grace Meng (Chinese: 孟昭文; born October 1, 1975) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the U.S. representative for New York’s 6th congressional district[1] since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, her district is situated within the New York City borough of Queens; it includes Bayside, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, Glendale, Jackson Heights, Kew Gardens, Maspeth, Middle Village, and Rego Park. Meng represented the 22nd district in the New York State Assembly from 2009 until 2012. She is the first Asian American elected to the United States Congress from New York.[2]

Early life and education

Grace Meng was born on October 1, 1975, in Queens, New York,[3] and was raised in the Bayside and Flushing sections of that borough.[4] She is of Taiwanese descent,[5] and is the daughter of Jimmy Meng, the first Asian to serve in the New York State Assembly,[6] and Shiao-Mei Meng.[7] She attended Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School and Stuyvesant High School and intended to become a teacher, according to a classmate.[8] She received a B.A. degree from the University of Michigan and a Juris Doctor from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University.[9] One of her early mentors was Susan Wu Rathbone, founder of the Queens Chinese Women’s Association.[10]

New York Assembly

Meng’s father, Jimmy Meng, was elected in 2004 to New York’s 22nd assembly district, becoming the first Asian American to be elected to the New York State Assembly.[6] He was subsequently arrested for wire fraud during an FBI sting investigation.[11] He served one term and decided against seeking reelection in 2006.[12]

Elections

Meng ran for Assembly to succeed her father, but was taken off the ballot when Democrat Ellen Young challenged her residency status.[13] Subsequently, her district residency issues were resolved.[14] Young succeeded Jimmy Meng, taking office in January 2007.[15] Jimmy Meng later pleaded guilty to wire fraud in connection with a bribery scheme.[16]

Grace Meng challenged Young again in 2008.[8] On September 9, she defeated Young in the Democratic primary, 59%-41%.[17] She went on to win the November election, defeating Young again, this time as an Independence Party nominee, 88%-12%.[18][better source needed] In 2010, she was reelected unopposed.[19][20]

Tenure

Meng was the author of the Reverse Mortgage Act of 2009[21] that prohibited proceeds received from reverse mortgages from being considered as income, so senior citizens can get their partial property tax exemption. Seven other of her pieces of legislation were signed into law.[21]

In 2009, Meng was named one of City & State‘s “New York City Rising Stars: 40 Under 40”.[22]

Meng is a member of the Vote Blue Coalition, a progressive group and federal PAC created to support Democrats in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania through voter outreach and mobilization efforts.[23]

Aide Linda Sun

During Meng’s time as a member of the New York Assembly, Linda Sun worked as a member of her staff. Linda Sun was later arrested and charged with several federal felony violations for acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China.[24][25][26] Meng was not charged with any wrongdoing, and said in response to Sun’s arrest that “Like every American patriot, I am deeply, deeply concerned about the national security threat that the Chinese Communist Party’s government poses to the United States, and I believe we need to protect our nation from it.”[6]

U.S. House of Representatives

2012 election

In June 2012, Meng faced fellow Assembly member Rory Lancman and New York City Council member Elizabeth Crowley in a primary election for New York’s 6th congressional district and won. She received the endorsement of the Queens County Democratic Party,[27] and a New York Times reporter wrote that she was “poised to become the biggest political star from New York City’s fastest-growing demographic group.” Meng said her focus would be to create jobs, improve transportation, and grow tourism opportunities in her borough.[8] Like her father, she garnered local community support from the Henan Association of Eastern America, the local Henan hometown association, co-founded by Meng’s grandmother.[6] On November 6, 2012, she won the race for New York’s 6th congressional district against Republican member of the New York City Council Dan Halloran, making her the first Asian American elected to Congress from New York.[28]

Tenure

Meng speaking at a rally in March 2013

Inaugurated on January 3, 2013, Meng helped form the Bipartisan Freshman Caucus, asserting that “the American people are just sick and tired of blaming each other without getting anything done.”[29]

Her district includes the Queens neighborhoods of Auburndale, Bayside, Briarwood, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, Glendale, Kew Gardens, Kew Gardens Hills, Maspeth, Middle Village, and Rego Park.

On February 10, 2014, Meng introduced the bill To amend the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to include the desecration of cemeteries among the many forms of violations of the right to religious freedom (H.R. 4028; 113th Congress) into the House.[30] The bill would amend the findings of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 by including the desecration of cemeteries among the various violations of the right to religious freedom.[30][31] Meng said that “this legislation would be a new and important tool in our fight against the desecration of cemeteries” because it would “combat religiously-motivated vandalism of cemeteries and also prevent developers from building over cemeteries, a new and emerging threat in places where there are no Jewish communities left to protect burial grounds.”[32]

In 2015, Meng opposed the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action supported by President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry. A press release issued by Meng stated that she didn’t support immediate sanctions relief, and believed that the inspections procedure laid out in the deal were flawed. She called for a new deal to be negotiated.[33] Two years later, she boycotted Donald Trump’s inauguration.[34] In February 2017 she became Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Atlanta.[35]

In July 2019, Meng reintroduced the Community College Student Success Act to improve graduation rates at under-resourced public community colleges to have the necessary funding to develop and implement support services for their low-income and minority students. It replicates nationwide the success of the CUNY Accelerated Study in Associate Programs which helps students earn associate degrees within 3 years by offering a range of financial, academic, and personal assistance. The program has been found to double the graduation rates of participants.[36]

On February 23, 2021, Meng introduced House Resolution 151, “Condemning all forms of anti-Asian sentiment as related to COVID-19,” responding to the growth of hate crimes against Asian-Americans, in the wake of Trump’s repeated characterization of COVID-19 as “Kung Flu” and the “Chinese virus”. It urged education and reporting about harassment. It drew initial support from 140 co-sponsors, and by March 3, 46 more, all Democrats.[37][38]

Meng voted with President Joe Biden’s stated position 100% of the time in the 117th Congress, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.[39]

She was among the 46 Democrats who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.[40]

Meng voted in favor of three military aid package supplementals for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan respectively in April 2024, along with most Democrats.[41][42][43]

Abortion

For 2021, Meng was given a 100% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America.[44]

Syria

In 2023, Meng was among 56 Democrats to vote in favor of H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[45][46]

Committee assignments

Caucus memberships

Personal life

Meng married Wayne Kye (계원종, 桂源鍾), a Korean American dentist and assistant professor at NYU,[8] in June 2005.[7] The couple resides in Queens with their two sons, Tyler Kye (계창명, 桂昌明) and Brandon Kye (계창호, 桂昌浩).[9] They attend a Protestant church in Forest Hills, Queens.[8]

In November 2013, Meng was robbed and assaulted by a purse-snatcher in the Eastern Market area of Washington, D.C.[50] She suffered injuries to her head, left knee, hand, and face, and was treated at George Washington University hospital.[50]
