Bushra Amiwala is the youngest Muslim elected official in the United States. Bushra is a Skokie native and daughter of immigrants who truly appreciates diversity in its many beautiful forms. As communities across our nation — the working poor, religious and ethnic minorities, and young changemakers who are ignored by political establishments — are pushed aside, Bushra is a committed voice for underrepresented citizens.
