Suhas Subramanyam Sworn into Congress

Suhas Subramanyam was sworn into the 119th Congress as the first Indian-American and South Asian representative for Virginia's 10th Congressional District, succeeding Jennifer Wexton. His historic election marks a significant moment for both Virginia and the East Coast, underscoring the increasing diversity in the U.S. Congress. Subramanyam's mother, who immigrated through Dulles Airport, witnessed the ceremony as he took the oath on the Bhagavad Gita, symbolizing his family's American journey. Previously a Policy Advisor to President Obama and a member of the Virginia General Assembly, he aims to champion bipartisan policies, focusing on economic growth and community safety. Subramanyam is now part of the 'Samosa Caucus,' a group of Indian American lawmakers in Congress. His commitment to delivering results for his constituents reflects his prior legislative successes in Virginia.
