Raised in California
Meet Ethan
Ethan Agarwal was raised in the South Bay by parents who immigrated to this country in pursuit of the American Dream.
His father was a teacher and entrepreneur, and his mother built their home with sacrifice and determination. Ethan grew up watching his parents take risks, work long hours, and build opportunity from the ground up.
After earning his degree at Johns Hopkins, Ethan began his career in public service, working for Senator Dianne Feinstein and on General Wesley Clark's presidential campaign. He later worked in finance and consulting and earned his MBA from Wharton.
He launched his first tech company from his couch. It grew into a business that created more than 140 jobs and delivered affordable health services to people around the world. He later founded a financial technology company focused on expanding opportunity for middle-class families.
Now he is running for Congress to ban stock trading, lower health care costs, and stand up to Trump's dangerous agenda.
“Ban stock trading. Stop political corruption. Lower health care costs. Make Washington work for working families.”
