In November, Rashida Tlaib, a daughter of Palestinian immigrants, may become the first Muslim woman to serve in Congress. Her victory in the Democratic primary in Michigan last week, though narrow, all but guarantees her election, as she is running unopposed in a very blue district that @repjohnconyers held for more than half a century. An attorney and single mother of 2 boys, Rashida, who was a state representative for 6 years, plans to take up Detroit’s civil rights heritage in her own way. She champions progressive policies like Medicare For All, a $15 minimum wage and abolishing ICE, and she is both a Democrat and a democratic socialist, though she said she eschews labels. Already, her story offers a remarkable counterpoint to anti-Muslim policy and sentiment rising around the U.S. In a year when a record number of women are running for Congress, and races across the country include gay, lesbian and transgender candidates and many people of color, Rashida represents a new addition to the mosaic of American politics. “I knew the win would be uplifting so many people with me,’’ she said. “It feels like a lot of weight on me to give them a voice.” @alanzilote took this photo of Rashida, center, after attending prayers with, from left, her mother, her son and a family friend in Dearborn, Michigan.
