NEW DELHI: Ashwin Ramaswami made history by becoming the first gen Z Indian-American to run for a Georgia Senate seat.
Ramaswami is running as a Democrat in District 48 of Georgia.
In a recent interview with PTI, the 24-year-old Ramaswami said, “I’m running for (Georgia) State Senate in order to give back to my community. I want to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities, just like I did while growing up.”
“I want to make sure we have a new voice, people who are young, who come from unconventional backgrounds in politics because it’s really important that we have people who represent us, not just people who can afford to do it,” he added.
Ramaswami’s goal is to replace the incumbent Republican Shawn Still, who was indicted alongside former President Donald Trump for their involvement in the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
In response to a question about his campaign’s focus, Ramaswami said, “Everyone should make sure they have access to a quality education. We want to make sure people have access to jobs and the economy, entrepreneurship and also access to healthcare, reproductive rights and all these issues that matter to us. That’s why I’ve been running.”
Ramaswami’s parents, both hailing from the IT sector, arrived in the US in the 1990s. He grew up immersed in both Indian and American cultures, identifying as a Hindu. His upbringing included exposure to Indian cultural philosophy and teachings such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavad Gita. During college, Ramaswami even studied Sanskrit and delved into ancient texts like the Upanishads. His passion for yoga and meditation led him to teach Baal Vihara to younger students.
