Washington: Democrat Vice-President candidate and Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris has picked an Indian-American to be her Press Secretary, adding to a slew of NRIs who are playing a major role in the upcoming US Elections 2020.

Indian-American Sabrina Singh was earlier part of the communications team of former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“I’m so excited to join the #BidenHarris ticket as Press Secretary for @KamalaHarris! Can’t wait to get to work and win in November,” Singh said in a post on social media platform Twitter on Sunday.

Thirty two-year-old Singh also worked as the spokesperson for two Democratic presidential candidates – New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, according to the American Bazaar.

Apart from being a top adviser to Democratic National Convention Chairman Tom Perez, she had also overseen several of the party’s coalition programmes and other important activities.

On the personal front, Singh belongs to a family that is deep-rooted in American politics. Her grandfather JJ Singh was at one point the head of the India League of America, a non-profit group that champions the interests of Indian-American citizens.

Harris, whose mother was originally from Tamil Nadu in India and father from Jamaica, is the first Vice President candidate of the United States of America who is of South Asian descent.

Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden on August 11 picked Harris to be his running mate for the key November 3 elections, a historic move marking a breakthrough for the strong and influential Indian-American community in American politics.
