This document is a list of Korean-American elected legislative officials (federal, state, and local), appointed and/or elected local administrative officials, appointed and/or elected federal administrative officials, and elected and/or members of the judiciary. The data was collected from a number of sources, including information from various websites, Korean newspapers (Korean-language and English-language), local and national American newspapers, telephone inquiries, and references from some of the individuals on this list. The original version of this document was prepared by Incha Kim (former Assistant Director of RCKC) in 2010, two years before the Korean American Data Bank was established. It was updated in the fall of 2012 by Claire Yun (former Research Associate at RCKC) and posted on the Korean American Data Bank in early 2013. It was updated once again after the mid-term elections in 2014 by Thomas Chung. This version, which is the fourth incarnation of this document, reflects the results of the 2014 mid-term and 2015 local elections.
