VIDEO: MEET ZULFAT SUARA – Candidate for Nashville Metro Council At-Large
There are 15 candidates running for 5 at-large seats on the Metro Council in the August election. Zulfat Suara is the first Muslim woman to have ever run for any position in the state of Tennessee- she ran in 2014 in Bolivar, Tenn., for school board – and if elected, she will be the first Muslim, male or female, ever elected in Tennessee.
She has been the target of hate online, but she has persevered, and was just recently one of the candidates endorsed by the Tennessean.
We spoke with Zulfat in Nashville at a candidates picnic at Vanderbilt, where one of her daughters is enrolled in Medical school. Please watch and SHARE the video.
