Million Dollar Political Muscle
Silicon Valley’s South Asian American community raises funds for the Democratic ticket
Nearly $1.4 million was raised for the Democratic Party last month at two events hosted by Indian Americans in Silicon Valley, showcasing their newfound political force.
President Clinton attended both the informal luncheon held at the Mountain View, Calif., home of Dr. Anmol Mahal and the fund-raising dinner for congressional candidate Mike Honda, D-San Jose, hosted by BJS Electronics CEO Jessie Singh.
The luncheon, organized by high-tech executive Vish Akella and Democratic Party fund-raiser Dinesh Sastry, brought in nearly $1 million, the largest amount ever raised at an Indian American political event.
