• Washington June 10, 2004: Nikki Randhawa, NRI, Sikh Busimess woman won the run-off election to the South Carolina State Assembly.

Nikki Randhawa Haley, 32-year-old Sikh woman has won the run-off election to the South Carolina State Assembly, 87th District defeating Larry Koon, American member of 30 years. Nikki Randhawa Haley will be the first Sikh and fifth Indian American to enter a US state legislature. Nikki Randhawa got 54.69 per cent votes (2,928 votes), while Koon got 45.31 per cent (2426 votes)

Haley ran for the election after Koon said he would not contest again. But later he changed his mind and returned to the fray. He said that the state''s budget problem was the reason for his change of heart. In the election held on June 8 Koon got 2,354 votes (42.27 per cent) while Haley got 2,247 votes (40.35 per cent). A third candidate, David Perry, an insurance broker, got 968 votes, (17.38 per cent). Since nobody got more than 50 per cent, a runoff was necessitated. There is no Democratic candidate and Haley automatically becomes the assemblywoman. After the election in June 8, Haley said she was sure of victory at the runoff in June 22. As a Sikh, there were questions about her faith. "But everybody knows us. She is born and brought up here only. Her husband is an American. Their two children go to the church as well as the temple. We explained these to the sceptics," Ajit Randhawa, her father said. Haley promises to be a spokesperson for the Indian Americans, women, and the business community. The 87th district is a very southern district in the southern state of South Carolina. People are mostly conservative and 98 per cent of the voters are Republican. She said she is Republican because it supports business and stands for many of the ideals she cherishes. She is pro-life also. "Does it matter for the Indian community whether the candidate is Republican or Democrat? What we need is people in political office. Party affiliation is irrelevant for us at this time," she said earlier. The district has 22,000 voters and the number of Indians is very few.
