Indian American Impact Fund Endorses Anuj Dixit for Congress in CA-41

Corona, CA — Today, the Indian American Impact Fund proudly endorses Anuj Dixit for Congress in California’s 41st congressional district, where he is running to defeat MAGA extremist Ken Calvert. This race is one of the top red-to-blue priority contests in the country and will be critical to Democrats’ efforts to flip the U.S. House in 2026.

A bold new voice for the Inland Empire, Anuj represents the next generation of leadership, focused on delivering real results for working and middle-class families. After coming of age in the post-9/11 era, Anuj dedicated his life to fighting for justice—defending voting rights, advocating for fair elections, and standing up for our democratic values. Now, he’s running for Congress to bring that same commitment to Washington. 

Chintan Patel, Executive Director of Indian American Impact Fund, released the following statement:

“We’re thrilled to endorse Anuj Dixit, a fierce advocate for democracy and opportunity. Anuj understands the challenges facing working and middle-class families because he’s lived them—and he’s spent his career fighting for the rights and dignity of others.

He’s ready to make it easier for people to start small businesses, find good-paying jobs, and afford the basics—like buying a car, owning a home, and building financial security.

At a time when trust in government is low and the cost of living is high, Anuj is offering a clear and hopeful vision rooted in accountability, transparency, and results. He’s exactly the kind of leader we need in Congress—and we’re proud to stand with him.”

Anuj Dixit added: “I’m honored to have the support of the Indian American Impact Fund. This organization has led the way in making sure that communities like mine—often overlooked and underestimated—finally have a seat at the table. As the son of immigrants, a civil rights lawyer, and someone who’s spent his life fighting for fairness, I share that mission deeply. In Congress, I’ll continue that work—standing up for the Inland Empire and building a government that listens to and delivers for the people it serves.”


Since its inception in 2016, Indian American Impact Fund has endorsed and supported 200+ candidates across the country, contributing to the historic rise of Indian and South Asian American representation in politics. Through strategic investments and grassroots organizing, Impact has marshaled upwards of $20 million to candidates and robust voter mobilization and policy advocacy efforts, amplifying the voices of South Asian Americans and driving positive change in communities nationwide.
