Congressman from California RoKhanna. Bay Area hopeful JananiforCA. And, of course, VP Kamala Harris. Indian Americans are running for office at higher and higher rates. And that trend is likely to continue.
Former President Obama was key to advancing the careers of Khanna and fellow California Rep. Ami Bera, an Indian American who represents parts of Sacramento.
Bera, a practicing physician, said a desire to join Obama in reforming the healthcare system led him to seek office. It wasn't until he was elected, he said, that he realized he would be the only Indian American in the House and committed to helping others with a similar background get elected. "This isn't about becoming an engineer or a doctor," said Bera."It's also about how can you get to the table. And how can we bring the values of our communities into this broader conversation."
