23-yr-old Indian American Muslim woman wins US mid-term elections

A 23-year-old Indian-American Muslim woman Nabeela Syed, the candidate of the Democratic Party, has won a significant victory in the United States (US) mid-term elections.

Nabeela has written history as the youngest representative to have won the election for the 51st House district of the Illinois state legislature in US.

On Wednesday, Nabeela took to Twitter and shared her happiness of being elected to the General Assembly as a representative of the Democratic party.

Nabeela took to Instagram and wrote, “When I announced for State Representative, I made it a mission to genuinely engage in conversation with people – to give them a reason to get involved in our democracy and hope for better leadership that represents their values. We won this race because we engaged in that conversation.”

In June 2022, Nabeela Syed had won the Democratic primary and has now flipped a Republican district against incumbent Chris Bos.

Syed, who becomes the first South Asian in the Illinois state legislature, will also be the youngest member of the state assembly.

Born and raised in Illinois, Nabeela Syed graduated from the University of California with a degree in Political Science.

In her election manifesto, Nabeela Syed has promised to consider and address public issues such as equal rights, health care, education and taxation.
