I would like to introduce myself to the Buffalo Community
as the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by
Rep.
Thomas Reynolds in the newly configured 26th.
Congressional District of New York.
My name is Ayesha F. Nariman. I am a citizen of the United
States. I have lived in Williamsville (Buffalo) since 1982,
and have lived in the United States for over twenty-eight
years. I was born in Bombay, India, and am a Zoroastrian by
birth. However, I truly believe, as the great Mahatma Gandhi
stated, "I am a Hindu, but I am also a Muslim, a
Christian and a Jew", and if I may add to the great man’s
words, "I am also a Buddhist, a Sikh, a Jain, a Bahai and
a Zoroastrian".

I am a Financial Advisor by profession, and have been a
Financial Advisor for over five years. I also
have an MBA from the University of Buffalo (S.U.N.Y. at
Buffalo) with dual majors in Financial Institutions &
Markets and Health Care Systems. Upon completing my MBA in
1991, I was employed by M&T Bank for five years: first as
a credit analyst, and later a credit policy analyst. I have
two sons, Neville H. Patel (27) a graduate of Nichols, and
Northwestern University who is currently pursuing his MBA at
the Wharton School of Management, and Cyrus H. Patel (25) a
graduate of Williamsville South High School, and Cornell, who
will be attending the Kellogg School of Management in
September 2002.
I
consider my self a fiscally conservative and a socially
moderate democrat.
I believe this is a good fit with the community I
am prepared to serve should they so honor me with their
vote of confidence.
As I am a relative unknown, I would welcome an
invitation to speak before and meet with the members of
this community of all stripes
- democrats, republicans, independents,
conservatives and greens.
I know they will be pleasantly surprised by my
message, and hope that they don’t let labels prevent
them from hearing progressive ideas from a candidate who
is an independent “out of the box” thinker. |
