For Sunny Reddy, a Wayne State University governor and treasurer of the Michigan Republican Party, politics and policy often intersect with personal conviction. Speaking in Washington during a recent visit, the longtime Indian American community leader said voters of Indian origin in Michigan remain hopeful that U.S.–India relations and domestic economic issues will find steadier ground ahead of the 2024 race.
Reddy, who has lived in Michigan for three decades, described a mood of “temporary disappointment” among Indian Americans who had backed President Donald Trump in 2020. “Community as a community, they feel a little bit disappointed (on the status of India-US relationship) based on the situation,” he said. “But at the same time, they know that these things are temporary and talks are going on. Every one of us is hoping that things will settle sooner than later.”
