New York: In a tight race, an Indian-American engineer won an open seat in a city council election in Sunnyvale, California, by just a single vote. Murali Srinivasan became the first Indian-origin council member elected in Sunnyvale and the first candidate chosen to represent District 3, The Mercury News reported. District 3 was formed in 2020 after the city voted to switch to a district-based electoral system, and drew six districts based on US Census data. While Srinivasan secured 2,813 votes, his opponent, Justin Wang, concluded the race with 2,812 votes.
