Indian-American Educator Deep Saran Announces To Run For US Congress

Darpan News Desk IANS, 18 Jan, 2018 12:29 PM
    An Indian-American educator has announced to run for the US House of Representatives.
     
     
    Deep Saran, 45, is one of almost a dozen Democrats in the fray for the primary to earn the right to challenge the two- term GOP Congresswoman Barbara Comstock from the 10th Congressional District of Virginia.
     
     
    “I’m a teacher, school founder, technology entrepreneur, lawyer, and child of immigrants from India,” Saran says on his campaign website.
     
     
    Saran said he would champion a national commitment for improved quality of public education—both in terms of accessibility and affordability.
     
     
    “As the child of immigrants, I would push back against intolerance and hatred,” Saran said.
     
     
    Saran’s parents emigrated from India over 50 years ago.
     
     
    His father was a refugee during India’s partition.
     
    He founded and runs a school, ‘Loudoun School for the Gifted’.
     
     
    Saran holds a degree in political science from University of Maryland and attended law school at Georgetown University.
     
     
    He was previously a corporate attorney for large firms in Baltimore and Chicago but left private legal practice to study how children learn and to work on a Ph.D. in human development at the University of Maryland.
