Detroit's Rashida Tlaib - First Muslim Woman In Congress


Recommended Posts

Posted

Rashida Tlaib has some experience being first, and not just because she's the eldest of 14 children.

As the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, she was the first person in her family to earn a high school diploma — then a college degree, and a law degree.

She was the first Muslim woman ever elected to Michigan's Legislature, where she served in the House for the maximum term of six years.

And in January, she's set to become America's first-ever Muslim congresswoman.

The 42-year-old Detroit native, whose father worked at a Ford plant, clinched a Democratic primary in Michigan and won the right to run unopposed in a U.S. House race this fall.
