Lateefah Simon is currently running for a House seat in California
FIRST ON FOX: A decades-long friend and mentee of Vice President Kamala Harris and who is running for Congress in California has been friends with a top executive of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) front group for more than a decade, a Fox News Digital review found.
In early 2022, a year before James Chau became the president of the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), he wrote on Twitter, now X, “Belated best wishes to my friend and sister [Lateefah Simon] as she builds on her years is (sic) service [Akonadi Foundation] to lead Meadow Fund.”
“These are complex times — yet also times in which skill and compassion count even more,” he continued. “Looking forward to seeing the deep impact of your work.”
Simon, who is currently running for Rep. Barbara Lee’s House seat and was a key speaker at the 2024 DNC convention on behalf of Harris, responded, “I love you James. Hong Kong this summer!”
