First Muslim Woman Elected to U.S. Congress

Advertisements

Rashida Tlaib, a muslim Palestinian American woman, won the race for Michigan’s 13th congressional district, making her the first Muslim U.S. Congresswoman.

There were no Republican candidates seeking the seat, so Rashida will not face anyone during the General Election. Since only Democrats were running for this seat, after winning the Democratic primary, Rashida will automatically fill the seat.

Congrats to @RashidaTlaib for her @BoldProgressive win in #MI13! Rashida ran an unabashedly bold campaign on #MedicareForAll, #FightFor15, and #DebtFreeCollege. Victories like Rashida's mean that Nov won't just be a #BlueWave—it will be a progressive wave. https://t.co/frpm0tYAZi pic.twitter.com/dVARw008nY

Trump ran a campaign against immigrants and Muslims. Well, the day he was elected, America also elected @IlhanMN, the first Somali American legislator, a Muslim woman, who came here as a refugee. Tonight, Rashida Tlaib will be the first Muslim Congresswoman. Just a sneak preview.

You would figure that her family that has been suspect in the 9/11 attacks would surface and immediately disqualify it from the races. Life, love, loyalty and honor are ignored by Democrats. Those qualities and also valor, are not thinks Islam holds dear, otherwise they’d not be in the ste state they’re in.
