In this episode, Mehdi sits down with Musab Ali, a 28-year-old trailblazer who became the youngest Muslim elected official in the U.S. and is now running for mayor of Jersey City. Musab shares his journey from fighting stage 4 cancer at Harvard Law to shaping policies on housing, transit, and government transparency. We dive into his vision for an inclusive Jersey City, his pledge to tackle corruption, and his commitment to morally grounded leadership—even when it means taking tough stands on Palestine.

This is more than a political conversation—it’s a story about resilience, representation, and what it means to lead with principle in today’s America.
