Muslim candidates faced hatred in 2018 political races. This year, 26 won election nationwide

"While the study portrayed a hostile climate for Muslim candidates, many have succeeded. This month, 26 Muslim candidates across the U.S. — including some in metro Detroit in cities like Hamtramck and Dearborn Heights — won local election races, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. A total of 34 Muslim candidates won in 2019. Three Muslims were elected Nov. 5 to Hamtramck City Council, ensuring the six-member council will remain Muslim-majority, which became so four years ago."
