SACRAMENTO, CA: Neel Kashkari, the son of Indian immigrants originating from Kashmir, took the opportunity during his keynote speech at the Sacramento Business Review event held at California State University Sacramento on January 21 to announce his candidacy for California Governor. At this point it is highly likely that incumbent Governor Jerry Brown (a Democrat) will be running again, but it is not yet confirmed. In any case this announcement by Neel who is often described as a "Moderate Republican", has added a new level of excitement into
the coming race. Governor Brown's age (he is 75) is sometime brought up as a factor in his upcoming decision but that should not matter to California voters. The event at the university campus began with an introduction by Roger Niello, President and CEO, Sacramento Metro Chamber followed by a warm welcome by Sanjay Varshney, Dean of the College of Business Administration at CSU Sacramento who used his usual humor, wit and charm to get everyone's attention rather quickly.
