Democrat Suhas Subramanyam wins reelection to U.S. House in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District
The Democratic incumbent defeated Republican Dave Beckwith as Indian-American candidates posted early gains in the 2026 midterm elections, NBC News and The Associated Press said.
On Tuesday, Democratic incumbent Suhas Subramanyam won re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives from Virginia's 10th Congressional District, defeating Republican Dave Beckwith with approximately 63% of the vote.
Subramanyam previously served in the Virginia General Assembly and State Senate before becoming the first Indian-American to represent Virginia in Congress in 2024.
In Maryland, Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller secured another four-year term on the Democratic ticket, becoming the first South Asian woman elected lieutenant governor in the United States.
Nationwide, 57 races featured Indian-American candidates seeking positions in Congress, state legislatures, governorships and local offices, reflecting a broader shift in political representation.
