NJ-12: Former West Windsor mayoral candidate joins Dem field
Sujit Singh, a technology consultant who nearly unseated the incumbent mayor of West Windsor in this year’s elections, will run for Congress next year in New Jersey’s 12th congressional district.
Singh, who would be the first member of New Jersey’s burgeoning South Asian community elected to Congress if he wins, joins a growing pack of Democratic candidates hoping to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing).
“I am running for Congress because families in New Jersey’s 12th district deserve leadership rooted in service, accountability, and compassion,” Singh said in his campaign announcement. “Our district is one of the most diverse in the nation, and our communities deserve a representative who listens, includes, and delivers measurable results.”
Singh works at an India-based technology and consulting firm and said he “is currently contributing to a major enterprise transformation initiative at the Inter-American Development Bank”; he also served on the board of a nonprofit that assists disabled New Jerseyans via group homes and in-home care. He lives in West Windsor, a majority-Asian American suburb of around 30,000 people next door to Princeton.
