Cy Thao is a Laotian-born Hmong American state representative (DFL) in Minnesota. In 1975, his family fled from Communists in Laos and lived in a refugee camp in Thailand. In 1980, his family moved to the United States. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Boy Scouts of America and attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Thao credits Scouting with helping him blend into American society and teaching him the values of community obligation.[1]

Thao is a graduate of the University of Minnesota in Morris.[citation needed]
