| Rep. West is popular among Indian-American conservatives |
Just to be clear, we're talking about East Indians and not Native Americans. The group wants Congress's most provocative black conservative to remain in office. From the Daily Caller: "[Shalli] Kumar’s group, the National American Indian Coalition (NIAC), is currently small and heavily composed of Indian-American families from Illinois, though Kumar says it has expanded to include members in other states, especially Texas and New Jersey. While their primary focus right now is educating Indian-American business leaders across the country so they can, in turn, meet and educate their local congressmen on issues of concern to the Indian-American community, Kumar says the group will ultimately be setting up a PAC and a super PAC."
The article continues: "He said his group’s priorities this cycle will be helping in the re-election efforts of Reps. Joe Walsh of Illinois and Allen West of Florida. 'He’s very much aligned with all our issues on national defense, on fiscal responsibility,' Kumar said of West, who spoke at a NIAC-organized event on Capitol Hill focused on [reducing] foreign aid to Pakistan recently."
