In this episode Mat McDermott speaks with Michigan State Representative Padma Kuppa, who serves the 41st House District.
Padma is an engineer by training, who also served on HAF’s Board of Director for a number of years, before turning to politics.
We talk about how she decided to focus on elected office, the connections between her Hindu faith and public service,
the attacks she’s faced based on her Hindu identity, and some of the more contentious public policy issues we’ve faced in the past month.
