On May 19, 2004 Times of India published an interview with Ravi Singh, fund-raiser for the Republican & Democrat National Committees, who says President Bush recognises Indians in America and their contribution. Commenting on his own campaign experience, Singh notes, "After campaigning for Bob Dole in my capacity as a member of the Asian American National Committee, I decided to run for public office. My parents thought I was crazy! I was discouraged not to stand for the elections with my turban on, but I stood my ground. I even managed to raise $150,000 for my campaign. I lost the race though not the spirit."
