Saudi native runs for Congress

[verte76]

A woman who was born in Mecca, Faryal Al-Masri, is running for Congress as a Democrat in California. The district has been Republican for 50 years. I found this pretty interesting.

Interesting, Verte! Any info on the kind of support she's got?

She's got a tough race, but the local Democrats are thinking it's a good omen that she was born in Mecca. She's emphasizing that she supports the war on terrorism and claims that most people with her background do too. The article was pretty brief, I'd like to find out more about her just out of curiosity.
