(National-UAE) Though it is affectionately known as the capital of Arab America, Dearborn, Michigan, has never had an Arab-American mayor.
Abdullah Hammoud hopes to change that.
The 31-year-old Democratic state legislator has already broken barriers. In 2016, at 26, he became the first Muslim American to represent the 15th district at the state capital.
Now, after five years of representing Dearborn in Lansing, he wants to lead the city he was born and raised in.
“We’re running on this idea that if we all roll up our sleeves, throw our work boots on and build a trustworthy and competent team, there’s absolutely nothing that Dearborn can’t accomplish,” Mr Hammoud told the National.
