\"voting_booth.gif\"<\/a> In three months, the nation will be heading to the polls to vote on congressional, gubernatorial, and local candidates. For the first time, we will have the chance to vote for more South Asian American candidates than we have ever had before. No longer will it just be Dalip Singh Saund and Bobby Jindal that have roamed the Congressional halls, there is a good chance that there will be another Desi to join the ranks. I like to call it the Obama-effect; all of a sudden there are younger, more diverse faces that are taking the electoral chance and running for office.<\/p>\n\n

We’ve always blogged about candidates during election season <\/a>here at Sepia Mutiny. But this year, in the vein of creating voter guides<\/a>, we’d like to the candidate profiles on each candidate using the same criteria for each candidate. The 2010 Candidate Profile<\/em> will have questions that we submit to all of the candidates and we will blog their response. Hopefully, we will also be able to get the candidates to respond to questions posted in the comment thread.<\/p>\n\n

These are the candidates that I know that are potentially going to be on the ballots on November 2, 2010.<\/p>\n\n
