Niraj Antani, a 23-year-old Indian-American student was on Wednesday elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, becoming one of the youngest state lawmakers in the US.
"I am deeply honoured to have been elected your State Representative for Ohio's 42nd House District. Thank you all so much for the support.
"I will work hard & fight every day for my constituents in the Ohio House of Representatives. Together, I know that we can create opportunities so all can achieve their American Dream," Antani wrote on his Facebook profile moments after winning the election. A law student at the University of Dayton, he is the youngest Ohio State legislature so far. He defeated 62-year-old Patrick Morris of the Democratic Party.
