Hindu American PAC Bids Outgoing Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard Farewell

The Hindu American Political Action Committee (HAPAC) would like to recognize a historic campaign from this current election cycle: the run of the first ever Hindu American for the position of President of the United States. We heartily recognize and congratulate Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing U.S. Representative of Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, for her inspiring presidential bid in the primaries held earlier this year.

This is not the first time that Congresswoman Gabbard has made history.  When she was elected in 2012, she became the first Hindu-American elected to Congress.  

We are deeply grateful for Congresswoman Gabbard’s service to our country both as a member of Congress and the Hawaii Army National Guard. She will remain an inspiring role model for Hindu Americans of all ages on how a person can be proud of their heritage and champion Hindu values like compassion, steadfastness, and equal regard for all beings on a path of service. We thank her for her annual greetings on Janmashtami and Diwali which expressively educated people of all backgrounds about Hinduism’s universal message of peace, love, and selflessness.  We are honored to have worked with her and wish her the best in her future plans.
