State Sen. Tina Maharath and local AAPI advocates spoke about what her single term in office has meant for Asian American advocacy.
In a dimly lit hallway on the second floor of the Ohio Statehouse — right off a grand marble staircase — is a wood-framed door with a frosted glass window and the words"Minority Whip."
But on Nov. 8, Maharath lost her reelection bid for Ohio’s 3rd Senate District — which includes New Albany, Gahanna, Westerville, Reynoldsburg, Groveport and parts of western Columbus — to Republican candidate Michele Reynolds by about 53% to 47%. “I was a single mother by choice at 20 years old … I went to OU, I worked at JP Morgan, I did everything society was supposed to tell me to do, yet I’m constantly having to decide, should I buy a five-pack of diapers today or should I pay my electric bill?” she said. “And that’s why I ran for office, I needed to change the system.”It was a friend from Whitehall many years ago who had died that had finally inspired her to run for office.
