Meet Grace
Grace Meng represents New York’s 6th Congressional District located in Queens, New York. She was born and raised in Queens as the daughter of immigrants and has never forgotten where she came from or who she fights for.
As a child growing up in the most diverse county in America, Grace believes that every person deserves a seat at the table.

Grace has represented NY-06 in Congress since 2013. She is the first and only Asian American Member of Congress from New York State.
