The 2020 cycle was historic for IMPACT — culminating in the election of Vice President Kamala Harris, a new Senate majority that AAPI voters in Georgia helped deliver, and several Indian American firsts in public offices across the country. As we look to 2022, IMPACT is poised for continued success in electing diverse candidates to public office, and further, serving as a national voice for Indian American and South Asian communities, and as an ally to other communities of color.
