This past summer my wife and I took a three and a half week road trip back to the Midwest. When in the Twin Cities we saw a marvelous exhibit at the Minnesota Cultural Center of the contributions of Somali American citizens to my home city and state. One of
them is running for Congress (see below). Another Muslim woman from Michigan could join her as the first women of Islamic faith in our House of Representatives. I made my donations to their campaigns and offer them for your consideration, Minnesotans and Michiganders.<o:p></o:p></p>

Favored to win<br>
Rashida Tlaib (D)<br>
Former state representative<br>
Tlaib is vying for the seat vacated by Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D), who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct. No Republicans are running in this race. She will be the first Muslim woman in Congress, likely joined by Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar. She faces
a female opponent in the general election.<br>
