Ravi Bhalla, the Indian American Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, is currently vying for the Democratic primary in the US House race from New Jersey’s eighth district. Over the past few weeks, he has accumulated robust backing and endorsements. If successful in the November 2024 elections, Bhalla would mark a historic milestone as the first South Asian to represent New Jersey in Congress. He would also join the esteemed group of five Indian Americans already serving in the US House.
