Number of Indian Americans in elected offices not reflective of their population: US VP Kamala Harris

Deccan Chronicle  

Washington: The number of Indian Americans in elected offices is not reflective of their growing population, US Vice President Kamala Harris has said, as she urged the members of the minority ethnic community to run in the elections increasingly. Harris, 59, who is of both Indian and African heritage, was on Wednesday speaking at "Desis Decide" -- the annual summit of Indian American Impact, a democratic party think tank that supports and funds Indian Americans running for elected offices across the country. But the numbers are still not reflective of the size of the growing population," Harris, the first-ever Indian American, African American, and a woman to be elected as the vice president of the US, told a packed room of Indian Americans in the national capital. Raj said Harris is not only the first woman but the first South Asian Indian American woman, to be elected as the vice president of the US.
