NEW YORK (TIP): The Indo American Press Club (IAPC) is showing the Indian community a path to mainstream by holding a debate on October 9 in Connecticut on the upcoming presidential election.

At its 3rd International Media Conference (Oct 8-10, 2016) in Stamford, CT, IAPC is hosting the discussion between a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton, Peter Jacob, and a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, Prof AD Amar.

Peter Jacob is an Indian American community organizer with a master’s degree in social work who is running as Democratic candidate for US House from New Jersey’s GOP leaning District 7. He has been endorsed by Democratic leader Bernie Sanders, whose site praised the 30-year-old’s commitment to the community with these words: “Raised in Union, New Jersey, Peter Jacob understands how important a safe and caring community is to success. Through various community organizations, Peter has helped fight the ongoing scourges of child abuse, human trafficking, and disastrous Iraq War.” His campaign for healthcare reform, environmental sustainability, and immigrant integration also comes in for praise.
