Krystle Kaul, an Indian-American Congressional candidate hailing from Virginia, has achieved a significant milestone in her political journey by amassing a remarkable $1 million in campaign funds. This feat, typically attained by only a select few newcomers, underscores her growing influence and support within the community.

Reflecting on her accomplishments, Kaul remarked, "I have consistently broken barriers throughout my career, from the CIA to the US Central Command and the Pentagon, driven by a dedication to excellence. I became one of the youngest ever directors at the Department of Defense." Her tenacity in the face of adversity is palpable as she adds, "I am often told I cannot do it – and then I do."

With roots tracing back to Kashmiri and Punjabi heritage, Kaul is vying for a seat in the US House of Representatives representing Virginia's 10th Congressional District. If successful, she would follow in the footsteps of Pramila Jayapal from Washington State, becoming only the second Indian-American woman to secure a spot in the House.
