Congressman Tom Suozzi has been named Democratic Vice-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, a move that places the New York lawmaker in a key leadership role on Capitol Hill’s engagement with India. The announcement was made by Caucus Chairman Ro Khanna, who cited Suozzi’s long record of involvement with the Indian American community and his work on strengthening ties between Washington and New Delhi.
A long-time member of the caucus, Suozzi’s elevation follows years of advocacy and outreach. His work has included visits to India and, last year, becoming the first American Member of Congress to visit the Kartarpur Corridor. He also represents a district spanning Long Island and Queens that is home to a large Indian American population, according to a media release.
Suozzi said that he is honoured to be named Vice-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans. His district is home to a large and vibrant Indian American community, and he is proud of the longstanding relationships and friendships he has built over many years.
