Her Record, Verified
What Haley Stevens has actually done for Hindu American communities — with sources you can look up yourself.
Haley Stevens — current U.S. Representative for Michigan's 11th Congressional District (term ends Dec 31, 2026) — has a documented record of standing with Hindu American communities through formal congressional action.
She backed H.Res. 1131, condemning Hinduphobia and attacks on Hindu temples, and H.Res. 1085, condemning persecution of Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan. She served as Vice Chair of the Sikh Congressional Caucus and sits on committees central to Hindu American families.
Political scientists have long observed that communities that organize, vote, and stay engaged receive greater attention from elected officials. This endorsement is A4H's investment in that relationship — retaining and strengthening an official who has already demonstrated she will engage.
A4H doesn't ask the community to trust a press release. We ask the community to check our work.
The congressional record
A bipartisan House resolution celebrating Hindu Americans and explicitly condemning attacks on Hindu places of worship, Hinduphobia, and anti-Hindu bigotry. Stevens is recorded among its supporters.
LegiScan — H.Res. 1131 · Congress.gov — Full TextA resolution condemning terrorist attacks and religious persecution against Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan, supporting their resettlement as refugees in the United States — welcomed by the Hindu American Foundation as a humanitarian milestone.
LegiScan — H.Res. 1085 · Congress.gov — Full TextIn her first term in Congress, Stevens issued a formal press release condemning the February 14, 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing, in which a Pakistan-based terrorist organization killed 40 Indian Central Reserve Police Force personnel in Kashmir.
"My prayers are with the victims of last week's horrendous terror attack in Kashmir. I stand with our friends in India to condemn this violence and stand united against terrorism."
This statement was issued in February 2019, in Stevens' first term. It demonstrates both moral clarity on anti-Hindu terrorism and a willingness to engage directly with the concerns of South Asian constituents.
stevens.house.gov — Press Release, Feb 21, 2019A formal leadership role in the caucus built to educate Congress on Sikh-American civil rights, religious liberty, and hate-crime concerns — issues that overlap closely with Hindu-American priorities on temple security and mischaracterization of Dharmic traditions.
Ballotpedia · stevens.house.govBefore Congress, Stevens served on the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry (2009) and directed the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute — launching America's first online training program in manufacturing and design technology. This is her professional background, not a campaign promise.
In Congress her legislative record on manufacturing includes the Build to Scale Reauthorization Act, the Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act, and the CHIPPING IN Act advancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing. She also sits on committees covering STEM policy, education and workforce development, and U.S.–China strategic competition.
Hindu Americans are disproportionately represented in Michigan's auto and manufacturing corridor — as engineers, software developers, and supply chain professionals in Troy, Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, and across Oakland County. The committee decisions governing advanced manufacturing, STEM workforce pipelines, and U.S.–China competition directly shape the careers of our community and the economic futures of their children. Stevens understands this sector from the inside. A4H's review of publicly available sources as of July 2026 has not identified comparable manufacturing-sector professional backgrounds among her primary opponents.
stevens.house.gov — Committees · Congress.gov — Member ProfileOn Khalistan and the Sikh Caucus
A4H specifically vetted whether caucus involvement with Sikh-American groups implies any sympathy for Khalistan separatism or Sikhs for Justice. Our review found no evidence connecting Stevens to SFJ or a Khalistan referendum. The caucus's stated mission is civil rights, education, and religious liberty — not separatism. We state this explicitly because the community will ask, and we would rather answer it than have it answered for us.
Why this matters beyond one election
Political scientists have long observed that communities that organize, vote, donate, volunteer, and remain engaged tend to receive greater sustained attention from elected officials — not out of malice toward others, but because officials have limited time and allocate it where they see consistent civic engagement.
This endorsement is therefore not just about Haley Stevens. It is about signaling to every current and future elected official that the Hindu-American community is organized, paying attention, and rewards those who stand with us.
