A record number of 20 Indian Americans are running for US Congressional elections this year. Collectively they have raised more than $15.5 million, as per latest official figures, with seven of them raising over a million each.
With six months still to go for the November Congressional election, except for Hiral Tipirneni who is running for April 24 special elections in Arizona, the figure of more than $15.5 million raised by Indian Americans so far that could be a record in itself for any ethnic community in the US.
