In a tight race, an Indian-American engineer won an open seat in a city council election in Sunnyvale, California, by just a single vote. “If you look at District 5 and District 3, we pulled nearly 1,100 more votes,” Srinivasan told The Mercury News. A resident of District 3 of Sunnyvale since 1997, he was an engineer and a tech executive at Sun Microsystems and General Electric.
