After Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election, muslims all over the U.S. decided to run for office. During the Primary Elections there were about 100 muslim candidates throughout the U.S. At this time, I have researched about 80 of those candidates. More than 30 out of the 80 candidates have advanced to the General Elections.
