Ashwin Ramaswami, 24, the first Gen Z Indian-American candidate for Georgia's State Senate, has secured an endorsement from US Senator Jon Ossoff. Running in the Democratic primary for District 48, Ramaswami is challenging incumbent Republican Shawn Still, indicted for his role in the January 6th insurrection. Senator Ossoff praised Ramaswami's dedication to democracy, contrasting him with Still's controversial past. Ramaswami, a former election security expert, has raised over $280,000 and aims to enhance healthcare, housing, and election security in Georgia. His election would make him the youngest and first Indian-American representative in Georgia's history.
