Historic Gains for Indian Americans in U.S. House Elections

Suhas Subramanyam becomes the first Indian American to win a House seat from Virginia, joining five re-elected members.

The 'Samosa Caucus' now includes six Indian Americans in the U.S. House of Representatives, with a potential seventh member if Amish Shah wins in Arizona.
Suhas Subramanyam made history by becoming the first Indian American elected from Virginia, defeating Republican Mike Clancy.
All five incumbent Indian American representatives—Ami Bera, Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Pramila Jayapal, and Shri Thanedar—secured re-election.
The increasing representation underscores the growing influence of Indian Americans in U.S. politics, all currently serving as Democrats.
Dr. Amish Shah is leading a tight race in Arizona's Congressional District, which could further increase Indian American representation in Congress.
