Nearby: Fresno, CATwo days after winning the race for Maplewood mayor, Council Member Chonburi Lee was still fielding many of the hundreds of texts, calls and messages that flooded in from all over the country. His election as Minnesota’s second Hmong mayor is a milestone, following on the heels of St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her’s historic election a year ago. Maplewood has grown rapidly in recent decades, drawing many Asian American families. And having Lee as mayor will help reflect that diversity, said Mee Vang, board president of The United Hmong Family. “It really sets a standard, and it really makes all of us proud,” she said. Seng Alex Vang, the managing editor of Hmong American Experience, is based in Fresno, California and tracks Hmong elected leaders in the United States. He said there have only been a handful of Hmong American mayors across the country. Vang said Minnesota has a higher rate of Hmong American elected leaders than anywhere else in the country due to the large Hmong population.

Nearby: Madera, CAMadera Police Department officers conducted an enforcement stop on a driver utilizing his cell phone on Fourth Street and I Street on Monday at about 10 a.m. Upon contacting the driver, the officer was met with the overpowering scent of cannabis.

This demonstrates how seemingly minor traffic stops can lead to the discovery of more serious offenses,” said the Madera PD in a statement.
