US Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the 'Desis Decide' summit on May 15, encouraging more Indian-Americans to participate in the electoral process. Despite growing numbers, Indian-American representation in politics is still limited, with only five members in Congress. Harris acknowledged the work of the Indian-American Impact organization, a Democratic think-tank, but emphasized the need for more Indian-Americans to run for office. She noted that increased participation will lead to more diverse representation and prevent individuals from being the only one with their life experience in rooms where decisions are made.
