US senator Tony Avella has endorsed an Indian American businessman for the upcoming New York state council elections, according to Observer.
A democratic state senator from the 11th New York senate district, Avella has supported Satnam Singh Parhar, a businessman and civic leader from Bellerose, New York. The primary election will be held on September 10.
“It is time this district elects a candidate who reflects its great diversity, understands the issues it faces, and who will tirelessly fight to secure its fair share of city funding and services,” Avella quoted as saying.
A leader in the flourishing Sikh community in the district, Parhar had earlier hosted fundraisers for Avella.
