Drawing on his experience as a Marine, physician, and community leader, Congressman McCormick spotlighted the Indian-American community’s remarkable impact, particularly in healthcare and technology. “When you see the most successful demographic in the most successful country in the world, look no further. It’s a community that’s very family-oriented, demands success, demands diligence, and is creative and intelligent. And when they adapt to you, you are like family.”
Highlighting the Indian diaspora’s significant role in powering growth across U.S. districts – from fintech innovation centers to leading healthcare institutions – Congressman McCormick emphasised the shared values of democracy, peace, family, and innovation that underpin this vital partnership. “70% of America’s fintech is based out of my district.”
He added, “Moreover, 1 in every 5 doctors in my district belongs to the Indian diaspora. 10% of all doctors in America are from the Indian diaspora.”
