Washington, July 11: Six new Senators have joined the Friend of India Caucus in the US Senate taking the total strength of this five-year-old Congressional caucus to 36.
The six Senators are Sherrod Brown from Ohio, Mark Begich from Alaska, Jhonny Isakson from Georgia, Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire, Dianne Feinstein from California and Roger Wicker from Mississippi.
While Brown, Begich, Feinstein and Shaheen are from the ruling Democratic Party; Isakson and Wicker are Republicans.
All of them joined the Senate India Caucus after its Co Chairs Senators John Cornyn and Chris Dodd wrote a “Dear Colleague” letter in June urging Senators to join the group.
