Dr. Sampat Shivangi, a prominent Indian-American community leader and Chair of Mississippi State Board of Mental Health, has been elected as an official delegate for the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC). The event will take place at the Fisher Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July13-19, 2024.

This will be Dr. Shivangi’s sixth time serving as a National Delegate at the Republican National Convention, where the Party nominates its candidate for presidential election.

“My nomination began as early President George W. Bush in New York, NY, then Senator George McCain, Governor Mitt Romney, and President Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. Now again to elect President Donald Trump in 2024 at Milwaukee, WI. I feel this is unique honor and an opportunity for an Indian American,” Dr. Shivangi said in a statement. 

“I am sure it will be a great convention and I wish to thank GOP for the courtesy and honor of the invitation as a National delegate of the Republican Party at 2024 National convention.”
