Senator Aisha Wahab won the special election for the 14th District seat in California, defeating her opponent who was backed by pro-Israel lobbying groups such as AIPAC. This victory comes despite the expenditure of over $6 million from the lobby’s funds in an attempt to defeat her. Wahab is the first Afghan-American to reach Congress, and she succeeded in overcoming significant political money by focusing on community issues such as child care. Her win sends a powerful message to Muslim, Afghan, and Palestinian communities. She will be appointed to fill the seat until January, and she is expected to face her opponent again in the November election for a full term.
