Indian American Impact Fund Endorses Suhas Subramanyam for Congress

Organization dedicated to electing Indian American leaders has proven track record of backing winning Congressional candidates

Ashburn, VA – Today, Suhas Subramanyam announced his campaign for Congress in Virginia’s 10th District has received the endorsement of the Indian American Impact Fund. The Indian American Impact Fund is dedicated to ensuring Indian American communities are represented in the country’s political leadership, and to enfranchising the growing Indian American electorate. Impact’s support has been pivotal in the campaigns of other Indian Americans elected to Congress.

“I am excited to have the support of the Indian American Impact Fund,” said Subramanyam. “As the son of Indian immigrants whose parents instilled a lifelong value of service to others, I have been proud to represent a growing South Asian population and to be a champion for communities across Northern Virginia. I look forward to partnering with Impact to win this battleground House race.”

Virginia’s 10th District is one of the most diverse battleground House districts in the country, and is home to over 125,000 AAPI Virginians. During his time in the General Assembly, Subramanyam has represented a large share of VA-10’s AAPI and South Asian communities. He co-founded the Virginia AAPI Caucus, serves on the Virginia Minority Business Commission, and successfully led legislation to establish Hindu Heritage Month in Virginia for the first time. Suhas Subramanyam is the first Indian-American, South Asian, and Hindu to be sworn into the Virginia General Assembly, and was sworn in on the Bhagavad Gita.

Senator Suhas Subramanyam has dedicated his life to public service as a State Senator, Obama White House advisor, Capitol Hill staffer, and as a Loudoun volunteer firefighter/EMT. In Richmond, he has worked across the aisle to pass gun violence prevention bills, protect democracy, and defend abortion rights. Senator Subramanyam is best positioned to keep VA-10 in Democratic hands because he represents more VA-10 constituents than any of the 16 primary election candidates, and he has consistently outperformed the Democratic ticket and delivered for his constituents. Suhas resides in Ashburn, Virginia (in VA-10) with his wife, Miranda, and their two daughters.
