It’s election season in America and Muslims all around the country
are turning up to run for public office, from big (Michigan
governor) to small (local city council). But even though the
candidates are running on local issues like housing rights and
minimum wage, the national conversation about Muslims, national
security, and terrorism have trickled down into their campaigns. We
talk to BuzzFeed News’ own Talal Ansari about his reporting on
these candidates with Hannah Allam. We also call up Abdul El-Sayed,
who’s running for governor of Michigan, and Zainab Baloch, who
recently ran for Raleigh City Council.
