Democratic candidate Maryam Abolfazli is taking on one of Tennessee’s most notorious MAGA congressmen in defense of women’s reproductive rights, sensible gun laws, and a better tomorrow for her 6-year-old son.
Maryam Abolfazli is one of those people who grows more interesting the longer you listen to them talk.
A native Tennessean of Iranian ancestry, Abolfazli spent part of her early 20s in Afghanistan, working for the United Nations and assisting the Afghan government in rebuilding its war-damaged water infrastructure.
Her experience aiding those in need in part inspired her decision to run for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District against GOP Rep. Andy Ogles, an election-denying, ant-abortion, gay-marriage-hating, firebrand with legal problems.
Check out our conversation about what’s at stake in this election and how she plans to serve her constituents in the Nashville area.
