Indian American Akshay Desai has been roped in by the U.S.’s Republican
Indian American Akshay Desai has been roped in by the U.S.’s Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his outreach to the Asian American community ahead of the crucial November 6 presidential elections.
Florida-based Desai, the CEO of Universal Healthcare, has been made one of the seven national co-chairs of the Asian- Americans and Pacific Islanders for the Romney community.
‘I am pleased and honored to serve as a national co-chair for Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders for Romney,’ Desai said.
‘As a businessman, I know all too well what it takes to make it in the private sector. When I hear President Obama tell small business people that ‘somebody else’ made their success happen, I know he is not cut out to turn around our economy,’ he added.
‘Mitt Romney is the change we so desperately need, and I look forward to having him in the White House,’ Desai said.
Praising the community members for their contribution to the American society, Romney said, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders have wonderful cultures that enrich all of America.
‘I am honoured to have the support of such great Asian-Americans, and look forward to working with them,’ he said.
