The Indian community has one of the highest per capita incomes across all the ethnic groups in America and are contributing generously for all the six Indian American candidates who are running for a record number of Congressional seats this year.
Sitting Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach, is facing a tough competition from Dr. Mannan Trivedi, who is running for this year’s November elections in his Pennsylvania 6th District.
“The only one who has played the race card here is him, by going to Indian-American groups to raise money," Mark Campbell, spokesman of sitting Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach, told Congressional newspaper 'The Hill' in an interview.
"Dr Manan Trivedi is running a campaign focused on the Pennsylvania families and businesses struggling in this economy. Gerlach, on the other hand, is making these ethnic charges to distract voters from his record of supporting the economic policies that created this recession," said Kathy Kulkarni, president of the Indian American Leadership Initiative (IALI).
