On Wednesday, March 20th, Ashwin Ramaswami declared the official commencement of his campaign as the Democratic candidate for a Senate seat in the state of Georgia in the forthcoming election. He holds the distinction of being the first Indian-American of Generation Z to vie for a legislative position at the state or federal level in the United States.
Ramaswami shared this significant milestone in a post on X, stating, “Today, I officially launched my General Election campaign as the Democratic nominee for GA State Senate District 48.”
He is a second generation immigrant; his parents came to the US from Tamil Nadu in the 1990s. If elected, he would be the first Indian-American State Senator in District 48 of Georgia. He would also be the first Gen Z State Senator in Georgia and the only Georgia state legislator with both a computer science and a law degree.
Ramaswami is a Democrat and he is hoping to replace incumbent Republican Shawn Still, who was indicted with former President Donald Trump for the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
