Congressman Tom Suozzi Named Democratic Vice-Chair of Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans

Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Long Island, Queens) has been named Democratic Vice-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, following his appointment by Chairman Congressman Ro Khanna.

A longtime member of the caucus, Suozzi’s elevation reflects years of engagement in strengthening the U.S.-India partnership in Congress. According to a statement from his office, his efforts have included multiple visits to India, notably becoming the first sitting member of the U.S. Congress to visit the Kartarpur Corridor last year, as well as sustained advocacy on behalf of the Indian American community in Long Island and Queens.

“I am honored to be named Vice-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans. My district is home to a large and vibrant Indian American community, and I’m proud of the longstanding relationships and friendships I’ve built over many years,” said Congressman Suozzi.

Suozzi emphasized that the U.S.-India relationship is among the most consequential globally. He also highlighted the contributions of Indian Americans, noting their significant influence on the cultural, economic, and social fabric of Long Island, Queens, and the broader United States.

“As Vice-Chair, I look forward to continuing the work of expanding economic ties, deepening our strategic partnership, and reinforcing the enduring friendship between the United States and India, one grounded in our shared values of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law,” he added.

“We’re proud to welcome Congressman Suozzi to the leadership of the Caucus on India and Indian Americans, where his deep ties to the Indian American community, longstanding commitment to strengthening the U.S.-India partnership, and ability to work across the aisle will be invaluable,” said Congressman Khanna. “Tom has been an important Member of the Caucus and a fierce advocate for the U.S.-India relationship for years now, and we’re glad to welcome him in this new role.”

Suozzi joins the caucus leadership alongside Co-Chairs Congressman Khanna (D-CA) and Rich McCormick (R-GA).
