Indian-American Surgeon Jumps Into U.S. Congressional Race
WASHIGTON: Anil Kumar, an Indian-American surgeon and small business owner in Michigan has filed papers as a Democratic candidate in the race for the U.S. House of Representatives from the state's 11th Congressional district.
Kumar, who has practised medicine in Metropolitan Detroit for the past 30 years, has raised over $600,000 to date, according to a media release from his campaign.
"I'm running for Congress because we need leaders with fresh ideas to get our state, and our economy, back on track," said Kumar.
"People are frustrated because Washington isn't working. Now more than ever, we need to create good-paying jobs, make education affordable, protect Social Security and Medicare, and assure healthcare is accessible to everyone."
Kumar, a women's rights advocate, said his campaign will prioritize solutions not partisan politics.
"I am proud to be a supporter of women's rights, and a protector of Social Security and Medicare."
"I understand that Social Security and Medicare are promises to our seniors that must be kept and since I serve Medicare patients, I know they depend on it."
