Two Indian-American candidates have emerged victorious in their respective city council runoff elections in Texas.
Sanjay Singhal, a retired energy executive and graduate of IIT Delhi, secured a significant win over Nasir Hussain in Sugar Land’s District 2. Similarly, Sukh Kaur, a Sikh-American and education reformer, triumphed in San Antonio to retain her District 1 council seat. Both candidates ran campaigns focused on community engagement and development.
Sanjay Singhal expressed his gratitude to the residents of District 2 for their support and pledged to serve with transparency and dedication. Sukh Kaur, the first Sikh woman elected to the San Antonio City Council, highlighted affordable housing, public transit expansion, and inclusive urban development as key priorities during her campaign.
These victories mark a milestone in the increasing representation of Indian-Americans in Texas’s civic leadership, particularly in urban centers such as Houston and San Antonio. The mayoral contest in Sugar Land saw Carol McCutcheon emerge victorious, with a focus on strategic vision for the city’s growth, as well as priorities including improving crime response and supporting law enforcement. The incoming council members and mayor are expected to be sworn in over the coming weeks, further solidifying Indian-American representation in Texas’s civic leadership.
