Cerritos, California is setting a new precedent with its city council, as it now consists entirely of Asian-American members. Frank Aurelio Yokoyama, the first Japanese-American Mayor of Cerritos, leads this historic council.
Mayor Yokoyama, a long-time resident of Cerritos, was first elected to the city council in 2017. He is joined by Mayor Pro Tem Lynda P. Johnson, Councilmembers Jennifer Hong, Mark E. Pulido, and Sophia M. Tse.
