The FAFHW delegation returned to Chicago’s United Center and McCormick Place for Day 3 of the DNC Wednesday.

The more than 40 Fil-Am delegates were led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and North Carolina State Representative Maria Cervania.

The delegates from across the nation represent states such as California, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Illinois, Virginia and the territories of Guam and Northern Marianas Islands.

“A record number of Filipino American delegates are proudly representing our community from all corners of the nation,” the FAFHW  said. “This unprecedented level of participation marks a significant milestone in our ongoing journey toward greater political engagement and representation.”

Vice President Kamala Harris is  expected to formally accept the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, the final night of the convention.

“We’re kicking things off at 10:00 PM in the Great Lakes Ballroom G, right after the DNC Convention. Catch Apl.de.Ap, Rex Navarrete, and DJ Rex on stage,” the FAFHW said in an event announcement.
