APABA-CO Statement Against Racism Directed at Ohio's New Solicitor General Mathura Sridharan
August 20, 2025

APABA-CO proudly stands in solidarity with Mathura Sridharan on her historic appointment as Ohio’s Solicitor General. We unequivocally condemn the racist and xenophobic remarks directed at her in the wake of this achievement. Ms. Sridharan is eminently qualified for this role, and any attempt to undermine her merit or professionalism—particularly in response to her choice to honor her cultural heritage in her official photograph—is a reflection of prejudice, not principle.

We call on community leaders, institutions, and all who value equity and justice to affirm and protect the constitutionally guaranteed expressions of faith and culture for every individual. Diversity is not a deviation from professionalism—it is a strength that enriches our public institutions.
