Subramanyam Makes Historic Win in Virginia's 10th District

Suhas Subramanyam has been elected as the representative for Virginia's 10th Congressional District, defeating Republican opponent Mike Clancy. This marks a historic win as he becomes the first Indian American elected from Virginia and the entire East Coast. Subramanyam, who has served in the Virginia State Senate and as a White House technology policy advisor, focused his campaign on women's healthcare, economic issues, and environmental protection. The district, a Democratic stronghold, continues to stay in Democratic control following the retirement of Jennifer Wexton due to health issues. Despite the district's competitive nature and Clancy's strong support base, Subramanyam's win was decisive, particularly in Loudoun County. Subramanyam's election is seen as a significant addition to the Samosa Caucus, a group of Indian American lawmakers in Congress.
