Muslim candidates for the US Congress and the country's provincial government have begun to be identified. Anadolu Agency reports that Colorado, Wisconsin and Oklahoma were the first Muslim candidates to be elected. Ilhan Omar, a Somali from Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian from Michigan, the first Muslim women MPs to be elected to Congress from the Democratic Party in the 2018 elections, also retained their seats in these elections. The third Muslim candidate to run for Congress in the election was Andre Carson, who won 65 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent in Indiana's 7th District. In 2007, he was the second Muslim to enter the House of Representatives in the 2008 special election, after Kate Allison, the first Muslim to be elected to Congress as a Democratic member of Congress in Minnesota.
The November 3 presidential election marked the first time for Muslim candidates at the level of provincial governments in the country. The election of Mauree Turner, a 27-year-old Muslim candidate for the state legislature in Oklahoma for the first time, made headlines. Turner, who won 71 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent, said: "As someone who has lived outside all my life, that means a lot to me." Samba Baldeh, who immigrated to the United States from Gambia, Wisconsin, 20 years ago, was the first Muslim to be elected to the state legislature, and Fedi Gaddoura, a 40-year-old Democratic Muslim woman candidate for the Indiana state legislature, was the first Muslim candidate. Just like Medina Wilson-Anton, a 28-year-old black woman. He was elected to the state general assembly in Delaware with 71 percent of the vote. For the first time, a Palestinian Muslim candidate, Iman Jode, entered the provincial parliament as a member of parliament.
