Pakistani Americans in politics

Pakistani Americans have increasingly become involved in U.S. politics, contributing to local, state, and national levels. Their participation reflects a growing influence, with individuals holding various positions, from city council members to members of Congress. They advocate for issues affecting their communities, such as immigration reform, education, and civil rights. Organizations serving Pakistani Americans often support candidates and promote political engagement. Notable figures include Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, who has connections with the U.S. Pakistani community, and U.S. politicians like Rashida Tlaib and Andy Kim, who represent the increasing diversity in American political representation.
