As a Congress member, Nath’s focus areas, as stated by her campaign include national security, border security, immigration, terrorism, education, and economic issues. As an immigrant herself, she stressed her unique perspective on geopolitical matters that directly impact the community.
The Indian American has founded Spindle India, Inc, a non-profit dedicated to strengthening US-India relations, and has also started IndiaFest Milwaukee, a popular local ethnic festival that brings communities together and brings visibility to the Indian community.
Nath has an MBA from Northwestern University Kellogg School of Business and experience as a management consultant for multinational corporations. “Friends, I am seeking your blessings, support and love as I embark on this incredible new journey. Coming from a background of almost nothing and scarcity of resources, I am not worried about what I would lose with the advocacy that I already do,” Nath wrote on her campaign website.
“But everything that my God Shiva allowed me to experience has been quite thrilling thus far and I know that this will be no less. I am embracing this awe-inspiringly magnificent and remarkable horizon with open arms. I hope you will join me on this expedition,” Nath, a practicing Hindu, added.
