Yuriy Seretskiy – a Moldovan national who left Moldova ten years ago – next year will run for the U.S. House of Representatives, CA, 28th District, Connecticut. On his official Facebook page, he says that it is inacceptable for the migrants from the former USSR to have no representative at any level of government in the U.S., with their interests being represented by no one, IPN reports.

The canioddate is a software analyst who emigrated to America in 1995 with a new sense of purpose.  He now lives in Sacramento. In November 2014, he ran for mayor of U.S. city of Roseville, California, but didn’t win.

On his page, Seretskiy writes that very talented people in the former USSR invented many valuable things that can be used for the benefit of the country that the migrants from the former Soviet Union chose as a place for living – the United States.

The U.S. House of Representatives is a legislative chamber in the bicameral legislature of the United States, and together with the United States Senate, makes up the U.S. Congress.
