Meet Suhas.
Suhas Subramanyam has dedicated his life to service and taking on tough fights to deliver real results for our community and our country.
Suhas’s family's story in America began right here in Virginia in 1979, at Dulles Airport. His mother, a native of Bengaluru, India, immigrated to the United States to unite with his father, who grew up in Chennai and Secunderabad, India, to get an education and pursue the American dream.
Suhas’s parents taught him the value of family and service from a young age, as well as the value of a great education. Suhas took those lessons of service to heart while attending college at Tulane University in New Orleans, where he helped organize volunteers to rebuild the communities affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Since this experience, Suhas has worked tirelessly to improve the health, safety, and prosperity of all Virginians and Americans. He served on Capitol Hill as a policy aide, where he worked to expand and improve health care access to millions of Americans, helped build a bipartisan coalition in support of immigration reform, and drafted legislation to increase job opportunities and funding for veterans, seniors, and working families.
After earning his law degree with honors at Northwestern University, Suhas served as a White House technology policy advisor to President Obama. During his time in the Obama Administration, Suhas tackled some of the most challenging issues facing our nation, including addressing cybersecurity threats, exploring opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, and modernizing government agencies so that they were better equipped to serve the needs of the American people.
After serving in the White House,
After serving in the White House, Suhas started his own small business in Loudoun County and also served our community as a volunteer EMT and firefighter.
In 2019, Suhas was elected to the Virginia General Assembly. His first act as a legislator was to create the Commonwealth Caucus, a group of legislators dedicated to finding bipartisan solutions and bridging the divides in our politics. He has been an effective lawmaker for small businesses and working families in our community, fighting to secure common sense solutions for Northern Virginia families. When politicians on both sides of the aisle refused to take on Big Pharma, Suhas passed legislation to bring down drug costs and increase price transparency for consumers. When powerful toll operators attempted to gouge Northern Virginia commuters, Suhas stood up to them and cracked down on egregious toll hikes. And when Virginia consumers were overcharged by hundreds of millions of dollars on energy bills, Suhas built a coalition across party lines to fight back, resulting in more than $300 million in refunds to Virginia families.
In Congress, Suhas will continue to take on the tough fights for Virginia families and deliver real results for our community.
Suhas and his wife Miranda Peña Subramanyam reside in Loudoun County, Virginia with their two daughters. They were married in Sterling, and their two girls were born in Leesburg.
