Rashida Tlaib Will Be First Muslim Woman Elected To The House!

The blue wave is a coming.

To the right wing trolls who are reading and posting on World News Today, we want to say thank you for the comments. I will address all the comments in due time.

The seat once held by John Conyers will be held by a woman of color who is a Muslim. Rashida Tlaib is an attorney and activist. She is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants. She won the Michigan primary and special election to become the nominee for the district.

In February, Tlaib announced she would be entering the race for Michigan's 13th congressional district and with no partisan opponent in the general election, she will run unopposed. Regardless of the outcome, she will be the first female Muslim to serve in the 116th Congress.

Tlaib ia married to Fayez Tlaib. Together they have two sons, Adam and Yousif.

The first Muslim woman to join the U.S. House of Representatives is a historical achievement for the Democratic Party. She will hold a seat of a lawmaker who felt the #MeToo Movement.

Conyers was the long term lawmaker who resigned from Congress after allegations of sexual abuse and corruption came forth. He was considered one of the most corrupt lawmakers in Washington.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic nominee from New York has endorsed Tlaib for Congress.

There is going to be three Muslims serving the U.S. House of Representatives (at least until January 3, 2019). Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the long term lawmaker is retiring to run as the Attorney General of Minnesota. He will continue as Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Ellison and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are currently members of the House who serving.

The establishment Democrats might want to rethink about keeping the status quo. I am not saying that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are bad people. But they are toxic to the party. Conservatives are trying to scaremonger voters into believing that the Democrats have nothing but obstruction in their sights.

We must oppose Trump and his allies.

With Rashida Tlaib in Congress, she will help Detroit and the metro region.
