The Indian American community has warmly welcomed her appointment as Council President because in her capacity as City Council Member, Sara Nelson was the sole vote against the discriminatory and contentious Caste ordinance introduced by Council member Kshama Sawant, who openly admits to Trotskyite Socialist leanings. Sara Nelson took the firm position that the ordinance could generate more anti-Hindu discrimination and dissuade employers from hiring South Asians. She also noted in her official statement at that time that the ordinance was being passed without due process - bypassing normal vetting process and receiving just one public discussion.
