Nida Allam made history Tuesday night when she became the first Muslim woman to be elected to a public office in North Carolina.

Allam received 39,523 votes, according to Board of Elections data.

Allam ran as a Democratic candidate for Durham County Commission. According to our news gathering partners at News & Observer, because no Republican candidates ran for the seat, she will be elected to her first term in November.

According to her campaign website, Allam said her priorities include improving public safety, combating poverty, providing mental health resources, improving access to high-quality education and increasing community involvement in political decisions.

Allam graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Materials & Technology.

No one to blame but themselves.

I find it interesting that though women in Muslim countries are delegated to second class citizenship, here it is Muslim women who seem to be getting political power rather than the men. And they are loud and unabashedly aggressive in their views.

“No Republican is going to win in that part of Durham.”

Especially when they don’t have a candidate.

well they are apparently not being harassed or attacked for running for and holding office so maybe the extremism isn’t as widespread as we think here. Except among those who run and win of course

Here’s something else that is interesting. I’m seeing more and more Muslims in my neck of the woods (a rust-belt state). But it is always Muslim women with children. Regardless of the time of day, I never see the men.

Maybe they are all out driving taxis.

Yeah, NC really stood out. While I don't know the area I find this surprising.

It is this kind of oversight on the part of the Republican Party which is pure negligence. This is the way AOC and Omar snuck in. I have to believe there is a sizable number of RATs who would bite the bullet and vote for a Republican even if he/she didn’t campaign. Just put a name on the ballot, idiots!

The place is a Looooooong way from Mayberry. It is the “servant’s quarters” for Muzzie loving Duke University.

Liberal professors who knee jerk pushed the notion that the black whore stripper named Crystal Mangum was raped by the Duke Lacrosse team. Because of course, 26K a year undergrad button downs would... “go after” pimped black hooker.
Professors and Chancellor/President who then influenced the local DA to falsify and exclude lab data which proved it did not happen. He then loses his law license, quits and the boys win an out of court settlement with Duke. The school that Big Tobacco built— the “city” of medicine.

The entire town was driven out of the incredible incomes that Bull Durham/American Tobacco, Lorrillard, Lucky Strike plants produced for 80 years. The liberal profs of the 60’s pushing white guilt for tobacco- the southern cash crop that just could not be allowed.

Not long after the Mangum incident (btw, she murdered the same pimp that put her up to this shakedown- and she is serving a life sentence in a hellhole max prison in NC now, the strip club is for sale)—— the obamaumao loving lib professors (of Methodist religion amazingly among others) pushed to have the muslim call to prayer be broadcast from speakers placed on the top of the Duke (Episcopal) Chapel— 5 times a day. The living Alumni stopped that with the real threat of removal of major funding (billions, btw) if they did this.

So now— Duke (and the idiot chickenshite repubs) has put in a muslim Rashida Tlaib type in a County Commission seat.
Friends in that woebegone county describe the taxation jungle that is there city and county ... detroit south, with an “educated” liberal leftist spin. The county that decided the last Governor— through electoral fraud and the judiciary. It is a hell hole. But the “oh not all muslims are .... bad” types miss the entire point of the 8th century gutter religion— is conquest. The intelligentsia is scared of black muslims.... Communist muslims, and liberal jews who appease them (parallel to Israel in fact).

Alumni are appalled, and the people— good working people generational survivors of the calculated political destruction of the cigarette industry continuing to suffer and their homes depreciating in value in the shadow of DC a@@hole retirees stopping off in Raleigh on their way to FL and then decide.... to stay! This is a quote from a colleague who is getting out. Tells me there are signs all over from a “non-profit” thats say “Stop ALL Evictions, Now—housing is a Right!”. Everybody on the govt. tit. w/ their own Duke lawyers.

Friends are moving out— to Montana. Gonna visit them soon.

The same thing with Virginia.

If Republicans didn't know the trajectory of Virginia why didn't they know? If they did know why didn't the warn people?
