Indian American Democratic Candidates Results from IALI

Thu, 11/04/2010 - 17:07

There were quite a few South Asians who ran for office on Tuesday. While there were a lot of disappointing results (Raj Goyle, Manan Trivedi, Ami Bera), there were some other victories around the country. Here is a great update that we got from the Indian American Leadership Institute on the candidates that they were following this past election cycle. Congratulations to the winners and hopefully some of the non-winners will decide to run again in a more favorable environment.

Asian American election results

Wed, 11/03/2010 - 07:43

It was a busy night last night. Unfortunately, even though we had an historic class of top-notch progressive Asian Americans running for Congress, we only managed to get two of them across the finish line: Hansen Clarke in MI-13 and Colleen Hanabusa in HI-01. Coming up short were such great candidates as Ami Bera, Manan Trivedi, Raj Goyle, Ravi Sangisetty and Surya Yalamanchili.
