Aftab Pureval has announced his intentions to run as a Democrat to challenge longtime Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot for a spot in Congress in Ohio’s 1st District.
Pureval, 35-year-old son of an India-born father and Tibet-born mother, made a name for himself in 2016 when he pulled off a surprising upset in Hamilton County, winning the county’s clerk of courts seat.
