Ashwin Madia - Democratic Candidate for Congress in Minnesota - 2008

It's a little hard getting started in this business as an Indian-American running in Minnesota for federal office, but the help of USINPAC has assisted me in overcoming many initial obstacles and made this process that much easier.  For that, I am very grateful.  I hope to continue my relationship with USINPAC through my campaign and throughout my career in Congress.


Bio

Jigar Ashwin Madia’s parents came to America from India with $19 in cash and a dream that America would provide opportunities for their children. Ashwin’s family settled in Plymouth, Minnesota, where he graduated from high school. Ashwin then graduated from the University of Minnesota, where he served as student body president, and New York University Law School.

After law school, Ashwin joined the U.S. Marine Corps and moved to Quantico, Virginia for eight months of basic training.  His first duty station was Okinawa, Japan, where he served as a prosecutor, defense counsel, and legal advisor to a Marine Corps commander.

Ashwin served in Iraq from September 2005 to March 2006.  While stationed in Baghdad, he worked with Iraqi judicial officers, U.S. military and civilian officials, and representatives of the European Union and United Nations to strengthen the Iraqi criminal justice system. He also briefed top U.S. generals on the status of the rule of law in the country.

Ashwin finished active duty with the Marine Corps on July 4, 2006.  He returned home to Minnesota and began practicing law at a local firm. He has now left that position to campaign full-time.

Just as his parents dreamed that it would, America has provided Ashwin with many opportunities. He now hopes to draw on his record of leadership, service, and advocacy to represent Minnesota’s 3rd District in the U.S. Congress.

As Congressman, Ashwin will work to end the Iraq War responsibly, expand access to healthcare, balance the budget, address global warming, renew the federal commitment to education, and safeguard our fundamental freedoms.
