Yup, that’s right - ‘Samosa Caucus’ is a real phrase coined by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi to group together fellow Indian-American members of Congress. Given the widespread efforts of South Asian voter mobilization and South Asian-Americans seemingly claiming Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, it’s interesting to think about our community’s political consciousness and how rampant identity politics truly is. This week, we spoke with Anna Eapen, a Senior Associate at Hamilton Place Strategies, and we discussed the range of South Asian-American voters (yes, even the ‘socially-liberal, fiscally-conservative’ folks), South Asians in American politics, and advice for people who want to pursue policy-work. Reminder to hold your elected officials accountable, regardless of identity politics, their last names, and/or their cultural heritage!
