Pramila Jayapal, Kamala Harris, and Lathika Mary Thomas.
As Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton targets to break the "highest glass ceiling" in the US, three Indian-Americans figure in a list of 19 women who could make history if elected to the US Congress in November.
In a Congress that has only 19 per cent women, over a dozen women from both sides of the aisle could end up breaking barriers if elected in the November polls, the popular Cosmopolitan magazine said as it released the list of the women.
The three Indian-American women who figure in the list are Pramila Jayapal, who is running for House of Representatives from Washington state; Kamala Harris, who is seeking to enter the Senate from California; and Lathika Mary Thomas, who is running for the House on a Republican ticket from Florida. Jayapal and Harris are from Democratic party.
If elected, Harris would be the second black woman in Senate after Carul Mosley Braun in 1992 and the first Indian-American in the Senate.
Ms Harris, who has been endorsed by US President Barack Obama is currently the California Attorney-General.
Ms Jayapal, who earned an endorsement from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, would be the first Indian-American woman in Congress, if she wins the elections in November.
According to latest polls, both Ms Jayapal and Ms Harris are expected to win their respective elections.
Like Ms Jayapal, Latika Mary Thomas if elected to the US House of Representatives seat from Florida would be the first Indian-American woman in the Congress.
Ami Bera from California is the only Indian-American Congressman in the current Congress. He is among the three Indian-Americans elected to the Congress ever.
Among other women politicians who figure in this list are Denise Gitsham, who if elected would be the first Republican Chinese-American in the Congress; Misty Snow, who could become the first openly transgender person in the Congress and Tammy Duckworth, who could become the first Thai-American to be elected to the US Senate.
