Caring for and Protecting our Communities

Meet Arvind

My life has always been focused on family, service, and community. My parents immigrated to the United States, and I saw how hard they worked to build a good life for our family. It was this ethic of hard work and commitment to service that inspired me to become a physician.

As an ER doc, I care for any patient that comes through the doors of the hospital, no questions asked. I have always believed that the ER should not only treat patients in crisis, but also work to address the health issues facing our community.

I have always looked for ways to give back to the community that has meant so much to me and my family. I served on the McCandless-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority where I worked to make sure our vital EMS services are available for our entire community.

As our state representative, I have focused on making health care more affordable and accessible, investing in public education and our first responders, protecting reproductive rights, passing gun safety legislation, and preserving ballot access and respect for our election results regardless of their outcome. All of these areas reinforce my philosophy that we need pragmatic and compassionate servant-leadership for our community.

I am running for reelection to the State House because we need a representative who has served our community through crises big and small and will use these experiences to advocate for everyone in the district. I want to continue to bring that foundation of service and common purpose to the State House on behalf of the people of Hampton, McCandless, Franklin Park, Ohio Township, Emsworth, Ben Avon, Ben Avon Heights, and Kilbuck.

Arvind’s Platform

 

Healthcare

I believe we need to make our healthcare system more accessible and affordable so that no one falls through the cracks.

Public Services

Our communities were built around strong public services. I will fight to ensure they have resources to stay strong.

Good Government

Voting should be easy and secure and our elections should reflect the will of the electorate, not ideologues.
