AAI National Policy Council member Hani El-Qutub, Ahmad Yaseen and Linda Sobeh and AAI Board of Governors member Dr. Abdel Kader Fustok worked with the Muslim American Republican Caucus (MARC) to put on a very successful “Candidate and Community Meet and Greet Dinner” at the Arab American Cultural & Community Center in Houston. Over 40 elected officials, party leaders and candidates on the March 7th Republican primary election ballot interacted with over 300 Arab American and Muslim voters and activists. Among those who addressed the standing room only crowd were all four Republican candidates in Texas’ 22nd district congressional race: current U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, plus challengers Pat Baig, Tom Campbell and Michael Fjetland. The candidates were very impressed with the level of community turnout!
