The most significant victories came in the state of New Jersey, where rising Indian-American political star Raj Mukherji became one of the youngest member of State Assembly, and will join fellow Democrat and veteran leader Upendra Chivukula.
Mukherji, a former Jersey City Deputy Mayor, won the State Assembly elections to New Jersey's 33rd Legislative District.
Mukherji, 29, a first-time Democratic nominee for the 33rd Legislative District, had won the primary election in June by a 36-point margin.
Nellore-born Chivukula has been a member of the New Jersey assembly since 2002.
Chivukula, 63, was the first South-Asian American in the 120-member state legislature and the highest ranking South-Asian elected to office in New Jersey.
At more than four per cent, South Asians form the largest component of the state's Asian-American group, which accounts for an estimated nine per cent of New Jersey's nearly nine million population.
Meanwhile, in the state of New Hampshire, 52-year-old Democrat Latha Mangipudi defeated her rival Peter Silva in a special state representative election by a huge 18-point margin.
Democrat Sapana Shah won a berth in the Edison Municipal Council of New Jersey. The 36-year-old lawyer has been working with the Edison Board of Education since 2011.
Elsewhere, Steve Rao retained his seat on the Morrisville City Council in North Carolina despite a huge anti-incumbency wave to defeat Pete Martin. Rao is now the only remaining Indian-American in the Council and was the only incumbent to return to office.
