The elections saw a much higher presence of Muslims, including many Arab Americans. A record 89 Muslim Americans have won elections across the US, out of a total of 145 candidates. Currently, 18 states have state legislators who are American Muslims. The nation's top legislative position, the Senate, has elected five Arab Americans. There are still six Arab and Middle Eastern Americans in the US house of Representatives.
In one of the most divisive midterm elections in the nation, a record number of Indian-American MPs, including raja Krishnamoorthi, Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, Shri Thanedar, and Ami Bera, were elected to the house of Representatives. Several others were elected to state legislatures.
Arvind venkat and Tarik Khan in Pennsylvania; salman Bhojani and Suleman Lalani in Texas; sam Singh and Ranjeev puri in Michigan; Nabeela Syed, Megan Srinivas, and Kavin Olickal in Illinois; Nabliah islam and Farooq Mughal in Georgia; Kumar Bharve in Maryland; and Anita Samani in Ohio are just a few examples of Indian-Americans who have been elected to state legislatures Nabeela Syed won a seat in the Illinois General Assembly, making her the youngest person to ever serve in a state legislature.
