Second Generation is proud to support Arvind Venkat for State Representative of Pennsylvania's 30th District.
Arvind is an ER physician, a father, a husband, and an Indian immigrant. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Arvind served his community on the frontlines as an emergency physician.
Arvind is a past President of the Pennsylvania College of Emergency Physicians, serves on the board of the McCandless-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority, and is a consultant to the Western Pennsylvania Autism Services, Education, Resources, and Training collaborative. Over the last five years, Arvind has served as a leader of Pennsylvania' state-wide emergency physicians’ organization where he advocated for more affordable and accessible health care, resources to address the opioid crisis, and better mental health services.
If elected, Arvind will be the only physician in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly and (potentially) the only State Representative of South Asian descent.
"Immigration is so fundamental to American culture — it is what makes this country great. The perspectives and experiences of immigrants bring new depth, energy, and outlooks to our country that should be celebrated and promoted as our greatest asset. Second Generation does exactly that." — Arvind Venkat
