Washington D.C. - Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-17), in partnership with Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21), is proud to announce the inauguration of the Congressional Hindu Caucus in the 118th Congress. Originally established during the 115th Congress, the caucus continues its pivotal role in forging a vital connection between the Hindu-American community and policymakers in Washington, D.C.

The Congressional Hindu Caucus, under the chairmanship of Congressman Sessions and Chairwoman Stefanik, is dedicated to representing the values that are significant to the Hindu-American community. Embodying a diverse coalition, the Caucus represents Hindus from various countries including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. It also includes members of other faiths with Indian origins, such as Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists.

 The Congressional Hindu Caucus advocates for free enterprise, limited government, fiscal discipline, strong family values, and a robust foreign policy stance against authoritarian regimes. This proactive approach not only strengthens the Hindu-American presence in Washington but also enhances its influence in shaping a more representative and diverse nation.

Congressman Sessions remarked, "The inauguration of the Congressional Hindu Caucus marks a significant step towards recognizing and amplifying the voice of the Hindu-American community in our nation's capitol. We are committed to addressing their concerns, celebrating their contributions, and ensuring their perspectives are heard at the highest levels of government."

In addition to Congressman Sessions and Chairwoman Stefanik, the Caucus includes members like Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-5), among others, who are dedicated to advancing the Caucus's mission.
