Is Sikh identity important?[edit]

Letitia Stein (October 12, 2017), Democrats rising? Early statehouse wins test new faces, Reuters – via Yahoo! News
Ana Sofia Knauf (August 23, 2017), "Meet Manka Dhingra, the Eastside Democrat Who Could End Republican Control of the State Senate", The Stranger, Seattle

Some sources mention that Dhingra is a Sikh, some do not. Reuters source above is an example for discussion, also The Stranger and several online Indian and Sikh community news sources. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Redmond[edit]

There are some sources not quite reliable enough to use on Wikipedia that say Dhingra and her husband moved to Kirkland before Redmond. Will keep an eye open for something better. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:25, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
