Representative McCormick said: “I am honoured to co-chair the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans with my good friend Rep. Ro Khanna.

Together, let's continue to champion the values of opportunity and collaboration that define both America and India.”

“I am honoured to continue serving as vice co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans. The U.S.-India partnership is built on shared values of democracy, economic freedom, and security cooperation. Strengthening this relationship is critical to advancing our mutual interests in trade, technology, and defence. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to further deepen the ties between our two great nations and to support the vibrant Indian American community that contributes so much to our country,” said Representative Barr.
