Kshama Sawant
Kshama Sawant ()〔1 November 2013. ('How do you pronounce your first and last names?' ). ''reddit''.〕 is a Seattle City Council member. A former software engineer from India, Sawant became a socialist activist and part-time economics professor in Seattle after emigrating to the United States. She held part-time teaching positions at Seattle Central Community College and Seattle University〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=SeattleMet )〕 and was a visiting assistant professor at Washington and Lee University. Sawant ran unsuccessfully for the Washington State House of Representatives before winning a seat on the Seattle City Council, making her the first socialist to win a city-wide election in Seattle since the radical progressive Anna Louise Strong was elected to the School Board in 1916.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Kshama Sawant )〕〔(Seattle elects first socialist City Council member ).

== Personal life and education ==
Sawant was born to Vasundhara and H. T. Ramanujam in Pune, India, in a middle-class family.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=King5 )〕 Her mother is a retired principal and her father, a civil engineer, was killed by a drunk driver when Sawant was 13. Sawant's observations of poverty in her native country and her unhappiness with the Indian caste system helped shape her political views before her adoption of socialism.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Josh Eidelson )〕 Sawant grew up in Mumbai where she later studied computer science and graduated with a B.Sc from the University of Mumbai in 1994. She married her husband Vivek, an engineer at Microsoft, and moved to the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Erica C. Barnett )〕 Sawant was shocked by the level of poverty she saw and decided to abandon the computer engineering field.〔Matt Taylor (28 April 2014). (Is Seattle's Socialist City Council Member Going to Show Us How to Ditch the Two-Party System? ) ''Vice.'' Retrieved 1 May 2014.〕 She began to pursue studies in economics due to what she described as her own "questions of economic inequality."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=KEXP-FM )〕 She entered the economics program at North Carolina State University where she earned a PhD. Her dissertation was titled ''Elderly Labor Supply in a Rural, Less Developed Economy''.〔 Sawant moved to Seattle in 2006 and, after hearing a speech by a Socialist Alternative organizer, became a socialist. She became a United States citizen in 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author= Brian M. Rosenthal )〕
