This article is about a female Hindu American who is running to be on congress in Hawaii. Her name is Tulsi Gabbard and she is a democrat. She is leading the election 77% to 18% over republican opponent Kawika Crowley. She feels that she can better the relationship between the United States and India. Also, she intends to work on veterans' affairs, environmental issues, and develop a stronger relationship with India as I previously stated. If elected, Gabbard would be the first Hindu American to be apart of congress. Gabbard is a United States veteran who served in Iraq training the countries counter terrorism units. If elected, this would be a historical moment for the Hindu community through out the world.
