Yogesh Chawla won with 52.6 percent of the votes in the election as Dane County Board Supervisor in Wisconsin. He represents Madison’s East Side and the Town of Blooming Grove.
‘We’re really eager to start the work to make District 6 a great place to live for all our neighbors. We want to work hard at tackling some of the racial disparities and tackling some of the environmental challenges. We’re eager to get to work,’ Chawla was quoted by Madison365.
‘We had the American Dream in our hearts,’ when his family came to the United States, he told Madison365. ‘We had strong support from our civic institutions like public education. That American Dream we had is slipping away. I can see it slipping. We were taught that if you work hard and help your neighbors, opportunity will be endless for you. I don’t think that is the case anymore. I don’t think that American Dream is available to everyone in Dane County right now.’
He is the second Indian American ever elected to the 37-member Dane County Board.
