It was a coincidence that after I wrote about what American Sikhs could learn from our Canadian counterparts on the political front, news began to circulate about New Jersey attorney and Hoboken city councilman Ravinder Singh Bhalla, a turban-wearing Sikh now running for a State Assembly seat in New Jersey (also see his election website, BhallaforAssembly.com as well).  If he is successful, he will be the first turbaned Sikh elected to office at the state level in the United States.
