Today’s Globe North section has a story on Hong Net of Lynn and Vesna Nuon of Lowell who both took office as city councilors in their respective cities this week. The story also gives credit to Rithy Uong for being the first Cambodian-American ever elected to a city council in this country (he joined the Lowell City Council back in 1999). The story quotes Vesna as saying his priorities will be to bring people together and to “proactively address crime and violence in our city.”
