Chung Seto is a veteran political and strategic consultant most recognized for her prior work with the National and New York State Democratic Committee and with electing the first Asian American to a citywide office in the City of New York and the first Asian American to represent Chinatown in the State Assembly. The diversity of her clientele spans across local, state, and federal Democratic campaigns, non-profit and private sector organizations, and government and community affairs.
Chung’s staunched support of women’s and immigrants’ issues, social, racial, and economic justice is reflected in the non-profit clients she has served. This commitment keeps Chung firmly connected to the core of her clients she represents and helps to inspire the support of donors and funders.
In 2013, Chung was campaign manager for John C. Liu, the first Asian American candidate for Mayor in New York City. In 2009, Chung served in a similar capacity leading the campaign team to the landmark victory that elected Liu as New York City Comptroller, the first Asian American to citywide office. When Liu was thrust in the spotlight to run for State Senate in 2018, he called Chung to advise his campaign, and Liu made history again being the first Chinese American elected to the State Senate. Chung while serving as senior advisor Congressmember Grace Meng, managed the Congressmember’s successful election as Vice Chair of the DNC.
