In the 2024 U.S. elections, three prominent Muslim-American Democratic candidates—Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Andre Carson—secured significant re-election victories, further strengthening Muslim representation in American politics.
- Rashida Tlaib: A Palestinian-American, Tlaib won re-election in Michigan with an impressive 77.13% of the vote. Known for her advocacy on social justice, immigration reform, and progressive causes, Tlaib will continue her work representing Michigan’s 13th congressional district in the House of Representatives.
- Ilhan Omar: The Somali-American congresswoman, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, triumphed in Minnesota’s Fifth District with 76.37% of the vote. Omar has been a vocal advocate for progressive policies, particularly on healthcare reform, climate action, and social justice. Her victory highlights her continued strong support within her district.
- Andre Carson: Representing Indiana, Carson was re-elected for his ninth term in office. As a longtime advocate for education, economic development, and public safety, Carson’s victory further solidifies his role as a key representative for Indiana’s 7th district in the House.
