Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is the first Indian-American woman to serve in the House of Representatives, the first woman to represent the 7th District in the State of Washington, as well as the first Asian-American to represent the State of Washington in Congress. I spent a day and a half with Rep. Jayapal a month into her term for The Stranger, a Seattle weekly publication. My story and photographs ran on their web edition at www.thestranger.com.
