As a former attorney with the New York Legal Assistance Group, Kevin has dedicated his life to serving his community and defending average New Yorkers. Elected into the State Senate in 2018, Kevin is the first Indian-American to serve in the New York State Legislature. Kevin serves as Chair of the Consumer Protection Committee and sits on the Judiciary, Finance, Banking, Aging, Veterans, Homeland Security, and Military Affairs Committees.



Kevin is standing up for Long Island in the State Senate. He helped secure record school aid for Nassau County and made the property tax cap permanent, which will save taxpayers nearly $190 billion over the next decade. Kevin also delivered new funding for our infrastructure, groundbreaking protections for our environment, relief for our student loan borrowers, and progressive voting reforms.



Prior to his election, Kevin was appointee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and an attorney with the nonprofit New York Legal Assistance Group, where he defended clients who had been unfairly targeted by large lenders. After years of helping those in financial crisis, Kevin chose to run for the State Senate to continue fighting to protect the rights of the people.
