Sarah Idan, a former U.S. Army translator in Iraq and former Miss Iraq 2017, joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss her plans to run for Congress.
Former U.S. Army translator in Iraq, Sarah Idan, joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss key issues on the ballot and why she feels the need to run for Congress.
Sarah Idan, born in Baghdad, lived under Saddam Hussein's rule and served as a translator for the U.S. Army during the Iraq War before she fled the country and later became a U.S. citizen. Though the California Democrat is pushing back against the extremist wing of her own party, she wants to make clear that she still aligns with traditional liberalism.
The 33-year-old said she feels as if people who align with her identity as a Muslim immigrant woman are underrepresented in the Democratic Party and in the media's portrayal of the party."That's why I'm trying to run, just to represent people like me, who think like me but don't have a voice.
She visited Israel the following year, saying she wanted"peace for everyone, for Israelis, for Palestinians."
