MEET ASHMI — Ashmi for Congress

Ashmi with her brother and father — **I am**
**a first-generation American.**

**My parents moved to the United States from India with less than $25. We had no safety net, building our lives from scratch. My family believes in the power of positive thinking and hard work.**

Ashmi with her mother — For me, my Ma’s homemade meals, Papa’s sense of humor, and brother’s strong friendship is home. I went to Title I schools, but was fortunate enough to be accepted into a specialized public school that changed my life.

Ashmi and her partner Shivam at Columbia University graduation — **I am a person with a disability - who graduated from college when I was 20, - in 3.5 years with two degrees. My Masters is in Public Policy from Columbia, (where I met my partner, Shivam).**

From regulating big banks at the Federal Reserve and advocating for small business protections on the Hill, to building climate resiliency products and movements for minority rights - I have the experience to bring new progressive ideas to Congress.
