Democrat Suraj Patel called himself “a hipster coffee shop between two Starbucks” as the 38-year-old with roots in Bardoli near Gujarat’s Surat city is pitted against two veteran lawmakers in the race for the New York seat in the US Congress. Patel, who worked on President Obama’s presidential campaigns and in his White House, is up against two of New York’s longest-serving members of Congress in an August primary: Democratic Party stalwarts Jerrold Nadler and Carolyn Maloney.
Patel has unsuccessfully challenged Maloney in the past, but is unfazed now. “What we are trying to do here in New York in the next 38 days would be historic. I’d be the first nonwhite person to represent a majority white district in Manhattan,” Patel said in an email interview to TOI. “I have to believe that a lawyer who is the son of immigrants can be a Representative in the immigrant capital of the world: New York City.”
