DALLAS: A prestigious fundraiser was held in honour of Congressional candidate Brandon Gill at the residence of Dr Rao Kamran Ali in Southlake, Dallas.
Dr Ali, who is a National Board member of the Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC), played a key role in hosting the event alongside renowned attorney Saba Ahmed and eminent psychiatrist Dr Furqan Rizvi.
The event was attended by prominent leaders from the Pakistani American community and distinguished individuals from various fields.
On this occasion, Gill emphasised the importance of Pakistan-US relations and expressed his commitment to increasing trade opportunities between the two countries if elected.
He also shared his views on immigration and other policies, stating that his beliefs on social issues align with those of the Pakistani community, and that he holds the community in high regard.
Saba, president of the PAKPAC Dallas Chapter, along with former PAKPAC president Dr Haroon Siddiqui and Secretary Dr Syed Naveed Hussain, also shared their thoughts during the event.
It is noteworthy that Gill, a prominent Conservative Republican Party candidate and son-in-law of Trump’s close associate Dinesh D’Souza, won his primary election in Texas by a significant margin and is considered a strong contender for Congress. Election analysis suggest that Gill has over a 99% chance of winning, which has further bolstered his support.
Community leaders such as Dr Hashim Majeed, Dr Arif Jamal, Parvez Malik, Yaseen Chaudhry, Dr Ashfaq, Dr Ali Bukhari, and Faisal Khan also expressed their views and emphasised the need to establish strong relationships with both Republican and Democratic parties to effectively address the issues faced by the community.
It is also noteworthy that this was the seventh major event of the year organised by the PAKPAC Dallas chapter. Previous successful fundraising events have been held for prominent political figures such as Governor Greg Abbott, Jasmine Crockett, John Huffman, and Ronny Jackson, significantly enhancing PAKPAC’s political influence.
