Arab American Lawmakers
Six politicians of Arab descent won seats in the U.S. Congress in the 2026 midterm elections: Egyptian-born Abdulrahman al-Sayed, who won a Senate seat in Michigan; Lebanese-born Darin LaHood, who won a House seat in Illinois; and Somali-born Ilhan Omar, Palestinian-born Rashida Tlaib, Syrian-born Abraham Hamadeh, and Egyptian-born Adam Hamawy. Al-Sayed became the first Muslim elected to the Senate, while Hamawy became the first Muslim to represent New Jersey in the House, winning about 74.8% of the vote according to preliminary results. Their careers highlight diverse backgrounds in law, medicine, military service, and public service, as well as their continued representation of different U.S. states and districts.
