U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has highlighted that the number of Indian Americans in elected offices is not reflective of their growing population. Speaking at the annual Indian American Impact summit, 'Desis Decide,' in 2024, Harris urged more Indian Americans to run for elected offices. The summit featured a panel with Indian American members of Congress, including Raja Krishnamoorthi, who echoed Harris's sentiments, emphasizing the importance of political participation at all levels. 'We have to vote. Will everyone here vote in that coming election? Because we can talk politics all day, but doing politics is what matters,' Krishnamoorthi stated. The event underscored the need for increased representation of Indian Americans in U.S. politics, with the coalition now standing at five strong.
