Rep. Grace Meng of Queens said PAC will help consolidate the requests for help she’s received from political aspirants.




Freshman Rep. Grace Meng of Queens isn’t wasting any time raising her national profile.


She’s launching a political action committee to help candidates who have backgrounds much like her own: immigrants or their children, young political contenders and women.

Meng said the PAC, “@theTable,” will help consolidate the requests for help she’s received from political aspirants.


It would also help her build relationships across the country and gather political IOUs that could be useful — particularly if she is challenged in a primary by former city Controller John Liu, whose 2012 mayoral bid fizzled.
