Celebrating Pride Month: Ahmad Zahra, first openly gay Muslim to be elected to office in US


Ahmad Zahra, born and raised in Syria, is the first openly gay Muslim to be elected to office in the United States.  He was a tight race to win a seat on the Fullerton City Council, representing District 5 November 2018.  He ran on a platform of eliminating child poverty.  Other issues were environmental preservation and revitalizing Fullerton's economy.

He lives with Miguel, his partner of 15 years (probably 17 now)
