"I am truly grateful to the voters for their support tonight in this Republican primary," said Antani, who is currently the youngest Indian-American elected official in the US. "Representing the community in which I was born and raised is an incredible honor. I work hard every day at the Statehouse to make it achievable for all Ohioans to have the opportunity to make their American Dream a reality." Antani said, while he is happy to have won, "this is not a time for celebration." "During this economic and health crisis, as Ohioans have lost their lives, front-line healthcare workers like doctors face danger in treating patients, small businesses struggle to survive, and nearly one million have lost their job, I redouble my efforts in the Statehouse to help every Ohioan the best I can," the American Bazaar quoted him as saying. Antani was first elected to the Ohio statehouse in 2014, from the 42nd District. At 23, he was the youngest member of the House.
