Ghazala Hashmi becomes first Muslim woman elected to Virginia's state senate | TheHill
Democrat Ghazala Hashmi unseated Virginia state Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R) on Tuesday to become the first Muslim woman elected to the state Senate, according to The Associated Press.
Hashmi, a former community college professor, will represent the state’s 10th Senate District, which includes Powhatan County and parts of Chesterfield County and Richmond. She immigrated to the U.S. from India as a child, and 2019 marked her first campaign for public office.

Good for her. Another way to ruin Trump's day.
