Thanks for the kind props.

For those of you who live in Ohio, under Ohio law, you can make up to a $50 per person, $100 per couple, contribution to Jay Goyal’s campaign fund and receive dollar-for-dollar state TAX CREDIT (not deduction–even better) for the contribution. That means you are out ZERO. So why not at least do that, and maybe add a dollar (at least).

You can contribute online: http://www.jaygoyal.com/

Of course, if you are not from Ohio but are otherwise a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you can show him some financial love too and help his career. You just can’t get a tax credit for it.

Wow, this is VERY cool! I LOVE how desis (of ALL ages) are getting interested in politics these days. And I know Jay’s older sis Anjali from NYC!

Subodh Chandra is another guy to look out for in the Buckeye state. He lost the AG’s race but he should make another run at some point.

Word– ahhh if we’re doing a write up for desi’s in politics. I just saw a front page reddit article on Vivek Kundra, America’s first Chief Information Officer(CIO). Woot.

I think this is the link to the AAA blog post, not what you have above.

That my parents (and now I) live an hour tops from Mansfield and they (and their friends) haven't mentioned Jay Goyal is just shameful. And he's in metal fabrication? Think they haven't yet overcome Neel Kashkari, The Chopra and The Kundra.

Moved from state with desi governor to one with possible desi lieut. governor. Go me!
