"I would be the first legislator in the nation with a deep background in the OSS community. This isn't just about Georgia: I hope this is the first step to inspiring others with similar technical backgrounds across the nation to make a difference in their communities, and to elevate voices who understand open source software in our politics!" -Ashwin
Ashwin would also make history as the the first Indian American in the Georgia State Senate, first Gen Z member, and the only State Senator with computer science and law degrees. With his unique background and strong ties to the district, he will bring a fresh perspective to the State Capitol, and to our country.
With your contribution, we can elect a committed public servant, bring new technical expertise to the table, and preserve the strength of our democratic institutions.
