Want To See More Indian Faces In U.S. Government: Says Indo-U.S Politician
Thursday, 28 November 2013, 00:13 IST
He added that other Indian-American legislators on the state and national stage are his inspirations and he is "looking forward to representing an incredibly diverse district which contributes greatly to the New Jersey and national economy".
"It is important that we make them contributors to the economy rather than people without the benefit of higher education," Mukherji said.
On whether he hopes to carve a name for himself on the national political stage in the U.S., he said he has "very limited aspirations" and is currently focussed only on helping his legislative district.
From March 2012 through June 2013, Mukherji served as one of the two Deputy Mayors of Jersey City, New Jersey's second largest city. He also founded an internet consulting and software development company while in middle school.
Following the September 11 attacks in New York, Mukherji joined the U.S. Marines at age 17, where he served in military intelligence for the Marine Corps Reserve. At 19, he co-founded a public affairs firm that he grew into the state's third-largest lobbying firm.
At age 24, Mukherji was appointed the youngest commissioner and chairman in the history of the Jersey City Housing Authority.
