Jimmy Meng

Jimmy Meng (zh-tsp|t=|s=|p=Mèng Guǎngruì) (1944- ) was a New York State Assemblyman representing the 22nd Assembly District in Queens, New York.

In 2004, Meng became the first Asian American to be elected to the legislature in New York State history. [http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-11/05/content_389005.htm "First Asian American in the NY State Assembly"] , ChinaDaily, 05-11-2004. Retrieved on 16-02-2007] He served only one term, having decided against running for re-election in 2006 following a scandal regarding election irregularities in his first campaign. His Chief of Staff was Sandra Ung.

He was succeeded by another Asian American, Ellen Young. In turn, Young lost the September 9, 2008 primary to Meng's daughter, Grace Meng. [Noah C. Zuss, "Meng Beats Young in Primary for Flushing Seat." "Southeast Queens Press," Sept. 12-18, 2008, p. 11]
