Indian American electoral push seen in Sacramento House race
WASHINGTON – There are no Indian Americans in Congress, and Ami Bera hopes to change that.
Bera, a 44-year-old physician from Elk Grove, is one of six Indian Americans running for Congress this year, a record high. Hauling in half of his contributions from Indian Americans, Bera, a Democrat, has raised $871,000, even more than Republican Rep. Dan Lungren, the eight-term incumbent he's trying to replace in California's 3rd Congressional District.
