About Ritesh Tandon Ritesh Tandon for Congress
Indian American engineer and businessman My grandfather Kanhaiyalal Tandon, fought for the independence of India. Because of his experience, I grew up with an appreciation for the freedom we had. Too often, politicians take for granted the freedom we have here in America. They have no historical context and do not realize the gift that our forefathers gave us. As your Congressman, I will never forget the gift of liberty, nor will I eschew my role as your public servant. I would be honored to serve this community in Congress and proud to fight for you in Washington, D.C.
The grandson of a freedom fighter, Ritesh Tandonwas instilled with an appreciation for freedom and independence. This would lead him to The United States of America at age 28, where he attended Santa Clara University in pursuit of a Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering. Ritesh Tandon is running in District 17, which includes Newark, Fremont, Milpitas, North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino. He is challenging incumbent Ro Khanna, who is serving as a national co-chair of Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
Tandon says, “Over two decades ago, I immigrated to this country as a student searching for the American Dream. I found it here in the heart of our Bay Area. I believe this community is the greatest in our nation and it angers me to see the Washington D.C. elite ignore our values of strong family devotion and hard work. It will be my top priority to represent you, not entrenched party bosses.”
As a father of two wonderful children, Ritesh is always seeking to make his community better for his family and others. Seeing a lack of representation of our values in Washington, DC, Ritesh is seeking to serve the Bay Area in Congress. Ritesh will fight for all our communities and ensure the residents of the 17th Congressional District have a voice in Washington, DC. More Information about Ritesh Tandon www.tandonforcongress.com
