KV Kumar, Anaheim, California told NRIpres reporter that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has appointed him to its Asian Pacific American Advisory Council. Last Month, the Republican National Committee launched three National Advisory Councils to strengthen ties with minority communities and expand engagement efforts across the country: the African American Advisory Council, the Asian Pacific American Advisory Council, and the Hispanic Advisory Council.

"I want to ensure that the Republican Party is building sincere relationships in Asian Community across the US, and our advisory councils will help make that a reality," said KV Kumar. “I look forward to working with them to grow the Republican Party.”

The council has formed to “strengthen ties with minority communities and expand engagement efforts across the country,” according to the RNC representative.

Four NRIs are the newly appointed and part of the Asian Pacific American Advisory Council, their names are KV Kumar from Anaheim, California, Puneet Ahluwalia- Virginia, Ajay Kuntamukkala- Maryland and Harry Walia- Florida.

KV is a Presidential appointee and has served all Presidents from President Reagan to President Obama; KV was the First Indian American to be appointed by the President to the Executive Committee of the SBA’s National Advisory Council on Small Business

The National Advisory Councils are part of the RNC’s unprecedented commitment to engage voters year-round to build a lasting foundation for future campaigns. Council members will lend their expertise in developing better, more effective engagement strategies between the RNC and state parties and communities across the country. In addition to providing advice and counsel to RNC leadership and staff, National Advisory Council members will attend community events, speak with grassroots activists nationwide, and attend RNC meetings. To complement the work of the three National Advisory Councils, the RNC is working with state parties to form state advisory councils as well.

“I want to ensure the Republican Party is building sincere relationships in every community across the country, and our advisory councils will help make that a reality,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “They are all leaders in their communities, and each council member brings a unique perspective. I look forward to working with them to grow the Republican Party.”
