New Delhi, November 11, 2022: Indian-American Nabeela Syed has made history by becoming the youngest member to get elected to the Illinois General Assembly.
In the recently held US midterm elections, the 23-year-old Indian-American won against her Republican opponent Chris Bos as she claimed 52.3% votes in the election for the 51st District in the Illinois State House of Representatives.
“My name is Nabeela Syed. I am a 23-year-old Muslim, Indian-American woman. We just flipped a Republican-held suburban district,” the youngest member of the Illinois General Assembly said.
In an Instagram post, Syed talked extensively about her journey. “When I announced for State Representative, I made it a mission to genuinely engage in conversation with people – to give them a reason to get involved in our democracy and hope for better leadership that represents their values,” she wrote.
Thanking people for their support, Nabeela Syed shared, “I knocked every door in this district. Tomorrow, I start knocking them again to thank them for placing their trust in me. I’m ready to get to work.”
People across various social media platforms have congratulated the young Democratic Party member for her win. Nabeela had done her graduation in Political Science and Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley.
