Another Indian-American Jumps Into Combative U.S. House Race
Washington: An Indian-American Republican candidate has jumped into an already combative electoral House race in the Silicon Valley featuring a former aide of President Barack Obama challenging the sitting fellow Democrat.
The new entrant to the race between the seven-term Democrat incumbent Mike Honda of San Jose and his main challenger, former Obama administration trade representative Ro Khanna, is Vanila Singh, a Stanford Medical Centre anaesthesiologist.
India-born Singh, 43, who came to the U.S. as a toddler, says she entered the South Bay contest because it is "time to do my civic duty".
But her critics, according to SFGate.com, say the man who recruited her to run, Chicago businessman Shalabh 'Shalli' Kumar, "has a far more divisive agenda".
Kumar is founder of the Indian Americans for Freedom, a super PAC or an independent-expenditure only Political Action Committee, which can spend unlimited amounts as long as it doesn't coordinate directly with the candidate.
