Gabbard First Hindu In Race for Congress?

By /
That’s according to this article in The Times of India:

Excerpt:

Tulsi Gabbard… has now taken a narrow but crucial lead of five points in the latest polls, brightening prospects for the first Hindu to be elected to the US House of Representatives.

Proud of her Hindu religion, she is not Indian nor of Indian heritage. Her father Mike Gabbard is currently Hawaii state senator and mother Carol Porter Gabbard is an educator and business owner.
