Son of Indian and Tibetan immigrants running for Cincinnati mayor

Aftab Pureval, the son of Indian and Tibetan immigrants, is running for election as mayor of Cincinnati in the US and, if successful, will be the first mayor of South Asian descent in Ohio.

Aftab is currently serving as the Hamilton County Clerk where he has a track record of working to make courts more accessible to underserved communities.

“Aftab cut waste, added new services, and still saved taxpayers nearly $1 million. This bi-partisan approach to running an office and showing how the government can work for all people is what Aftab plans to do as mayor,” said Neil Makhija, Executive Director of US’s leading Indian American civic and political organization  IMPACT, which is endorsing the mayoral candidate.

With the primary less than a week away, Aftab is currently leading in the opinion polls.
