Kamala: Truth alone triumphs |
Docratic Senators Kamala Harris of California, and Corey Booker of New Jersey delivered keynote addresses at the Indian American Impact Project’s inaugural summit June 8 in Washington, D.C.The day-long summit was organized by the newly-formed organization, founded by Raj Goyle, former member of the Kansas state House of Representatives, and Deepak Raj, former chairman of Pratham USA. The Indian American Impact Project seeks to promote Indian Americans for political office. The summit brought together 200 Indian American candidates, elected officials, philanthropists, leaders, and activists. Reps. Ami Bera and Ro Khanna, both Democrats from California, along with Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois — both Democrats — also addressed the gathering. Three candidates running for seats in the House of Representatives also spoke at the event, including Aruna Miller, a member of the Maryland state House of Delegates; Aftab Pureval, currently the Hamilton County, Ohio Court of Clerks; and physician Hiral Tipirneni of Arizona. Booker and Harris, who is African American and Indian American, have both emerged as early favorites for the 2020 presidential election, amid much speculation that a ticket featuring the duo could topple President Donald Trump’s re-election bid.
