WMCA/WMCF GOVERNOR CANDIDATE FORUM ELICITS ANSWERS THAT MATTER TO WISCONSIN MUSLIMS

The Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance and the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Foundation hosted their first Governor Candidate Forum Wednesday, July 1, at the Oak Creek Performing Arts Center, 304 E. Puetz Rd., from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Four of the seven candidates for Wisconsin governor participated.

The two organizations “are the civic home for Wisconsin’s Muslim community,” said Fauzia Qureshi, who serves as executive director for both organizations. WMCA is “Wisconsin’s only Muslim-led civic advocacy group, an organization where we endorse candidates, advocate for our community and build political power for Wisconsin’s Muslim community,” she explained. WMCF “is our educational arm where we conduct research. We provide education and training to invest in our future leaders and our community together.”
