Three of the four Indian American members of the House of Representatives handily won their re-election bids Nov. 8 evening in the 2022 mid-term election, as Democrats struggled to retain control of the House and the Senate.
Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington; Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Illinois; and Ro Khanna, D-California, all successfully fended off their challengers. Rep. Ami Bera, a physician who has served Sacramento since 2013, is still battling Republican challenger Tamika Hamilton. Early Nov. 9 morning, with 26 percent of votes counted, Bera had amassed 36, 176 votes, 56 percent. Hamilton has garnered 44 percent of votes counted.
