Kesha Ram Hinsdale (born August 2, 1986) is an American activist and politician who serves as a member of the Vermont Senate. She served in the Vermont House of Representatives from 2009 to 2016, representing the Chittenden 6-4 District (numbered Chittenden 3-4 before 2012), which encompasses the Hill Section of Burlington and the University of Vermont.[1] In her early career, Ram was the youngest member of the House of Representatives and the youngest state legislator in the country. She is the youngest Indian American to ever serve in state elected office.
In 2016, Ram finished third in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor of Vermont.[2] In 2020, Ram finished second in the Democratic primary race for the six at-large State Senate seats from Chittenden County.[3] In the November general election, she was one of five Democrats elected to the State Senate, along with one Progressive. She is a great-great-granddaughter of Sir Ganga Ram.[4]
