| Summary: | "Thanedar, was sworn into Congress. There were several high-profile Indian American appointees under the Trump administration as well, including Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina as the Ambassador to the United Nations, Seema Verma to run the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Ajit Pai as head of the Federal Communications Commission, and Raj Shah as Deputy Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Communications Director.
