Salaam John,
We are pleased to share that several candidates endorsed by Emgage Action have won their down ballot races! These successes reflect the strength of Muslim American voters and allies in advancing a future rooted in justice, equity, and a commitment to human rights for all.
While the presidency took center stage in this news cycle, down-ballot seats are crucial to strengthening our pluralistic democracy — especially amid heartbreaking violence in Gaza and the ongoing loss of Palestinian lives. Now, more than ever, we need leaders who will stand with us, speak for peace and dignity, and advocate for communities facing injustice and hardship. Over the past several months, Emgage Action has been working tirelessly to mobilize Muslim voters across the country and ensuring our community’s voices are heard at every level of government.
We’re proud to share some highlights of our collective efforts to empower the Muslim American community this election season: -
115,000+ doors knocked to connect with voters in our neighborhoods.
- 550,000+ phone calls made to inform and engage members of our community.
-
2,150,000+ text messages sent to encourage participation in this critical election.
Congratulations to our winning candidates: -
Rep. André Carson (D-IN-7)
- Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-7)
- Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12)
- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN-5)
-
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14)
- Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA-12)
Rep. Simon has become the fourth Muslim elected to the House of Representatives! And, thanks to our hard work in New York, we also successfully flipped three seats.

Each of these leaders represents a commitment to the values we hold dear, from civil rights to religious freedom, and to building a democracy that serves all.
These wins would not have been possible without your support. This year, Muslim American voters showed up and made a powerful statement: Our voices and votes matter in building a nation that respects and celebrates our diversity. Whether through volunteering, voting, or spreading the word, you helped bring our shared vision to life. Thank you for standing with us, and for standing for a future where all communities can thrive. Together, we will continue to push for justice, peace, and representation at every level.
Our work is rooted in the Islamic values of justice, mercy, peace, human dignity, and equality for all. We believe in the transformative power of political and civic participation, and we are guided by the collective strength of our diverse Muslim community. We believe in our pluralistic democracy and embrace all individuals, regardless of the type of Islam they observe or how frequently they practice, ensuring that everyone sees themselves reflected in our work. We show up for the oppressed and those in pain, stand firm against all forms of injustice, and work tirelessly for the shared liberation of all people. Our commitment to justice, equity, inclusion, and humanity drives us to make change happen, ensuring that every voice is heard and every person can live with dignity, safety, and freedom.
