Official Profile
Religion: Hindu cultural affiliation (Americans 4 Hindus per public bio) — no Christian profession on campaign materials; no faith/God/church/prayer references
Background: Vinay 'Vin' Kruttiventi, first-generation legal immigrant born Hyderabad, India. BA Osmania University 1996. Resides Wilton, CA (Sacramento County — likely outside CA-13 proper). CEO of A5, a global business / technology consulting firm; chair of the Vinay Kruttiventi Foundation. Married, two daughters. Grandfather described as having worked alongside Gandhi. Previously LOST 2024 CA-14 R primary. FEC ID H4CA14093, committee C00839944. Endorsements claimed: CPAC, San Joaquin / Merced / Madera County Young Republicans (per Los Banos Enterprise sponsored content). No SBA Pro-Life, NRA-PVF, House Freedom Fund, or church/faith endorsements located. 2024 iVoterGuide rated 'Conservative — Conditional, 55' (did NOT complete the survey).
STATUS FIX: LOST June 2, 2026 CA-13 top-two primary (3rd place ~16.6% / 8,332 votes); Gray (D) + Lincoln (R) advanced. HARD-TRUE catches: self_defense Q1 (Priorities page verbatim: 'So-called assault rifles ban, magazine capacity restrictions, and gun free zones will all be a thing of the past' — directly opposite of the rubric's listed bans); border_immigration Q0 (Priorities: 'Secure Our Southern Border: By enforcing our immigration laws' + 'physically secure the southern border'). HARD-FALSE cross-party catch: border_immigration Q1 (same border plank includes 'creating a realistic, accessible, and legal pathway to citizenship' — opposite of mandatory deportation, heterodox R amnesty-adjacent posture, parallel to Lopez's H-2A line). SOFT TRUE candidates not committed: voter ID + parental rights (third-party endorsement-page summaries, not his direct quotes — not citable). Sanctity_of_life / biblical_marriage / christian_liberty cells held NULL (campaign silent — high-value silent gap for an R but not scoreable as FALSE without contrary evidence). 2024 prior CA-14 loss + 2026 CA-13 loss = perennial under-resourced candidate.

1 claim
Stated on the 2024 iVoterGuide congressional candidate questionnaire (filed for CA-14) that abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments — including Title X grants. This position, carried forward into his 2026 CA-13 run, reflects a commitment to defunding the abortion-industry network that the rubric's sanctity-of-life standard requires.

Built his congressional campaigns around small-business economic growth, stating 'Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy — they create jobs, drive innovation, and support our communities.' His platform focuses on a business-friendly, low-burden regulatory environment consistent with reduced federal spending and market-driven growth rather than deficit-financed government programs.
