Dear Sadharmik Friends and Family, |

|
|
Namaste & Jai Jinendra! We the officers of JITO USA (a 501(c)(6)) organization, unanimously endorse Dr. Amish Shah as a candidate for US Congress. Dr. Shah is originally from Chicago and is a three-term member of the Arizona House of Representatives, serving since 2018. On April 3rd, he announced his campaign to run for US Congress. He hopes to be the first Jain person in history ever elected to the US House of Representatives. |

|
|
He is also an ER medical doctor currently practicing at the Mayo Clinic. He finished residency 15 years ago and has been privileged to work all over the country, including on the field with the NFL. He has focused his efforts in the legislature on healthcare policy, partnering with doctors and healthcare workers of all specialties. He is a lifelong follower of the Jain values and Jain way of life. |

|
|
As a candidate, he has had tremendous success: |
|
|
|
| • |
He won all three of his elections in resounding fashion |
|
|
|
| • |
He has knocked on 15,000 doors personally to meet his constituents |
|
|
|
| • |
He has been endorsed by 21 Arizona elected officials and numerous prominent Arizona community and industry associations |

|
|
As a legislator, he is proud of his record: |
|
|
|
| • |
He has had more bills signed into law than any other member of his party in over a decade |
|
|
|
| • |
As a practicing Jain, he’s received over a dozen awards for the quality of his service, including Humane Legislator of the Year for sponsoring animal protection legislation |
|
|
|
| • |
He has, and promises to, work with members of both parties consistently to get things done while proactively protecting the rights of Jains across the country |
|
