Saba Haider, a Democrat with origins from Ghaziabad, a city in India's Uttar Pradesh, has secured victory in the U.S. DuPage County Board election, defeating her Republican opponent, Patti Gustin, by an impressive margin of 8,521 votes.
This achievement follows a previous setback in 2022 when Haider narrowly lost the election. Not disheartened, she continued her efforts, returning with renewed strength and a strong campaign that resonated with voters in DuPage County.
Haider has spent over 15 years in the U.S., where she has become a prominent advocate for health, wellness, and yoga, touching the lives of thousands through her classes and outreach. Her advocacy focuses on issues close to her heart: mental health support, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. She aims to promote unity and progress, drawing on her extensive experience in health and wellness to address the needs of her community.
Haider's family, who have a history of involvement in public service, are immensely proud of her achievements.
Her win resonates with the Indian community in the U.S., especially as many celebrated her success in a year when Kamala Harris, a Vice President of Indian descent, continues to serve as an influential figure in American politics.
