Amani al-Khatahtbeh, founder of Muslim Girl, has become the first Muslim woman to run for Congress in New Jersey.
On April 4, al-Khatahtbeh announced her mission “to make democracy happen” by unseating 16-term Democratic incumbent Rep. Frank Pallone, chair
of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, in the state’s Sixth Congressional District.
