New York: Ashwin Ramaswami, who is the first Gen Z Indian-American candidate running for a US State legislature, has raised more than $280,000, a significant amount at the state level.
Ashwin Ramaswami, 24, has raised 22 times more funds than his opponent Shawn Still during the recent filing period from February 1 to April 30. Ramaswami managed to raise more than $146,000, whereas his opponent only raised 6,400. Both candidates are competing for a seat in the State Senate within District 48 of Georgia.
Ramaswami has collected a total of more than $280,000 and currently holds $208,000 in cash, according to reports cited by media sources.
“Our latest reports are further evidence that our community values honesty and integrity in our leadership above all,” said Ramaswami, a second-generation Indian-American who has built a career in software engineering, election security, and technology law and policy research.
“We’ve built a grassroots campaign with unprecedented momentum to ensure we elect a leader who will serve our communities first and foremost: funding our schools, supporting our small businesses, preparing us for the technology of the future, and protecting the right to vote,” he said.
