“Other than that, Democrats don’t have an advantage. And it’s Republicans who are promoting less government regulations, less interference for businesses and entrepreneurs.”
While Indian Americans are just 0.4 percent of the state’s GOP voters, they are more than 3 percent of its 172 delegates with at least four members. Three of those are from the Los Angeles-Orange County area, including IARC founder KV Kumar of Santa Ana.
