Really not that many, just that a few of them have become prominent. Ro Khanna, Zohran Mamdani, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kash Patel (if you want to consider him a politician), Nikki Haley

I guess if you’re looking at it from a proportionality perspective, the number in Congress is actually not proportional to the Indian-American population. 1.6% of the country is of Indian descent but there are only 6 members of Congress. 1.6% of 538 is 8.6

There’s democratic Indian-American politicians, like the current lieutenant governor of Virginia.
