“I’m not running to be a Muslim senator,” El-Sayed declared. “I’m running for the U.S. Senate and happen to be Muslim.”

“I’m going to swear to the Constitution of the United States and that Constitution guarantees us all the right to practice whatever faith we want to or no faith at all.”

I want to protect your right to practice your faith as you choose.
