America considers electing its first Muslim governor: Abdulrahman El-Sayed

The 32-year-old Rhodes scholar says the Flint water crisis was what pushed him to pursue public office

DETROIT, Michigan - Abdulrahman El-Sayed appears to have a restless soul. Born and raised in Michigan to Egyptian-American parents, at just 32 years of age he has already given up careers as a doctor, an epidemiology professor and being the director of Detroit's health department.

Yet the time has come for him to make his boldest move yet: beginning his campaign to run for governor of Michigan. Since El-Sayed has never held elected office, it is an ambitious endeavour.

If he wins, he would become the first Muslim governor in the United States, at a time when some of the country’s top politicians have singled out Islam as a public enemy.

Unlikely.

Detroit isn't that heavily muslim and while he isn't really responsible for it, Mike Duggin gets credit for the downtown boom.

There are a lot of Arabs in Michigan but the majority are Christian plus Detroit itself is not a muslim stronghold. Lots of Chaldeans in Detroit.
