151st Legislative District
My Name is Grand Master Bong Pil Yang and I am the General Secretary of the 21st Century America-Korea-Chinese Leaders Society. I am writing on behalf of all members and constituents. The Korean community is a "Community of Interest" in Horsham and Montgomery Townships. A strong and vibrant Korean-American Community lives, works, worships, shops and raises families within the Horsham and Montgomery Townships. Many Korean American residents or Horsham and Montgomery Townships worship at various Korean churches in Horsham and Montgomery Townships, including Yuong Sang Presbyterian Church and First Korean United Methodist Church of Horsham. Many Korean American residents of Horsham and Montgomery Townships shop at the stores in Montgomery Township at the Assi Plaza Shopping Center, which includes a Korean grocery store providing Korean food and a local Korean restaurant. Korean American residents of Horsham and Montgomery Townships led the effort to locate the Korean War Memorial and Peace Park in Montgomery Townshi0 with assistance from the Republic of Korea. The Korean American residents of Horsham and Montgomery Townships should have one State Representative in Harrisburg who will prioritize the issues facing their community. Splitting the sizable Korean American community living in Horsham and Montgomery Townships will dilute and diminish the Korean American communities voice in state government.
