In celebration of the cultural heritage of our Filipino community at the Pista Sa Nayon this month, check out this fun fact: When Vallejo's Larry Asera was elected to the Vallejo City Council in 1973, at age 24, he not only became the first Filipino American to be elected in Vallejo but also the very first to be elected anywhere on the U.S. mainland. At 27, Larry became a member of the Solano Board of Supervisors and eventually the board chairman at age 29, the youngest chairman in the history of Solano County.
