I'm running for Congress because Democratic Party leaders in DC are unfit to lead in the world as it is today.
We Can Fix This.
I'm running for Congress because Democratic Party leaders in DC are unfit to lead in the world as it is today.
WHY I'M RUNNING
The American Dream is failing so authoritarianism is winning.
With a career that spans Bernie's 2016 campaign, running AOC's 2018 upset victory, and launching the Green New Deal. I know how to shift the bounds of the possible - by mobilizing people to demand and achieve policies like Medicare for All, affordable housing, political reform, and a transition to clean energy. Together, we can rebuild our party, revitalize our city, and transform our nation.

San Francisco should have a representative who is fighting to push the bounds of what is possible
Whether it’s the cost of living crisis, housing shortage, homelessness, or drug addiction crisis, San Francisco faces many of America’s problems hardest. We cannot afford to have a representative fighting to keep a broken status quo intact.
San Francisco has always been the home of movements that fight to fix what the nation gets wrong. From the Longshoreman’s Strike in 1934 that unionized the West, to the anti-war movement of the 1960s, to the LGBTQ rights and disability rights movements, when the country wouldn’t move, San Francisco pushed.
And our country needs San Francisco to push again today.

About me.
I was born in Fort Worth, TX, to immigrants from India. I came to San Francisco after college in 2009, like so many others, with dreams of making a difference and fell in love with our city. I started my own company here before joining Stripe as its second engineer.
I left Stripe to join Bernie's 2016 campaign where I traveled the country building tools that powered Bernie's unprecedented grassroots movement. On that campaign, I met an incredible group of leaders and together we launched an effort to recruit a new generation of leaders to Congress called Justice Democrats.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a member of our first class of recruits. I ran her 2018 campaign before going into Congress as her Chief of Staff, where I was in charge of writing and launching the Green New Deal.
I now lead a policy think tank devoted to developing comprehensive plans for how the government can deliver prosperity and economic security for all Americans through an economic mobilization to build a clean economy for the U.S. and the world. I am also involved with several non-profits in San Francisco like the SF-Marin Food Bank, the Housing Accelerator Fund, Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California, and the Friends of Duboce Park. I live with my wife and daughter in Duboce Triangle.
