The third congressional district of Minnesota that voted 49% for Kerry in 2004 and continues to trend Democrat. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has made this race one of its top ten priorities, and this seat has been held by Republicans for nearly fifty years. Nearly 40 years ago, Ashwin's parents came to the United States from India with only $19, and they were
able to live every dream they had like so many other immigrants to this great country of ours. He is the only
South Asian American of Indian heritage running for an open seat in Congress this year and would be the first one
to get elected to Congress in over 50 years. PAKPAC believes that Mr. Madia's campaign has widespread support across the political spectrum, having gained backing from business groups, veterans' organizations, labor unions, environmental groups, civil rights groups and more. He has committed to responsibly ending the Iraq War; balancing our national budget and paying down our debt; addressing global climate change and investing in a new, green economy; making health care more affordable and accessible; and standing up for civil liberties. PAKPAC asks the Pakistani American community residing in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District to donate to the Madia campaign and not only vote themselves but make sure that their friends also go out and vote on Election Day. This district is one of the most affluent in the state, encompassing the suburbs of Hennepin County to the north, west, and south of Minneapolis. It has blue collar Brooklyn Park to the north, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth and Wayzata to the West. ONLINE SUPPORT FOR
