Candidate Spotlight: @mughalforga105, Georgia House District 105
In 2022, Farooq became the first Pakistani American elected to the Georgia Legislature!
In one term, he co-sponsored laws that opened state contracts to minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses, created a mental health grant program for veterans and military families, and helped people with records get back to work.
In 2024, after redistricting, he lost by just 80 votes. Now he’s running to win back House District 106 to continue championing everyday Georgians.
5 more days. Election day is Tuesday. Make your plan to vote!

Candidate Spotlight: @NabeelaforIL Illinois Senate District 26
In 2022, at 23, Nabeela Syed flipped a Republican-held seat and became the youngest woman ever elected to the Illinois General Assembly. She was also the first South Asian woman and first Muslim woman to serve there.
Since then, she’s passed 21 laws, including a ban on price gouging for generic drugs and paid leave for organ donors.
Now, Nabeela is ready to flip a seat again. She’s challenging Darby Hills for Illinois Senate District 26, a seat decided by just 385 votes in 2022.
Election Day is 6 days away. Make your plan to vote. 🗳️#NabeelaSyed #Illinois #ILSenate #Vote

🔷 Defend abortion rights
🔷 Make government work for Arizona families

Candidate Spotlight: @PiaforCongress, FL-22
Pia is a born-and-raised Floridian. She is a public school teacher and became a public school principal at just 28!
Pia is focused on:
🔷 Lowering costs and providing affordable, high-quality healthcare.
🔷 Protecting Social Security.
🔷 Strengthening public education, including universal Pre-K.
🔷 Protecting women’s rights.
FL-22 is a newly drawn district and an open seat. Cook Political Report calls FL-22 a toss-up.
This is one of the most competitive races in the country. Democrats need to flip just 3 seats to take back the House Majority.
Pia can win FL-22. Let’s get her to Congress. 🗳️ #PiaDandiya #Florida #MidtermElections #Vote #FL22

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this cordinated campaign to delegimatize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans.
These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Attracting talented people from India has been a huge American advantage. Turning them into targets of racial resentment is a sure way to squander it. A serious agenda for American competitiveness should recognize that.

Great story from @BenjaminSWeiss @HuffPost on what our community is facing.
Our ED @itschintanhere discusses the “buyers remorse” building among Indian American voters as we talk about hate and discrimination.
Our new poll with @HITStrat finds 1 in 4 South Asian American Trump voters plan to vote Democratic in the midterms.
NEWS: In 2024, a Hindu temple in TX unveiled a 90-foot statue of Hanuman, the half-monkey deity of Hindu mythology.
At the time, it drew backlash from the fringe right. But years laster, anti-Indian rhetoric is mainstream in the GOP - and it may cost them elections.
