Redistricting Changed The Face Of A Massachusetts Town's Politics

Lowell, Massachusetts used new districts in its 2021 elections, changing the face of its politics and bringing representation to leadership.

Sokhary Chau came to the U.S. as a refugee when he was nine years old. Now he's the nation's first Cambodian-American mayor, leading the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, about 30 miles north of Boston.   

Chau has been on the job for nine months, well aware that he looks nothing like his predecessors.

"Hopefully, I'm the first but not the last," Chau said.
