Democrat Abbas Alawieh is an "Arab American" candidate. He was born and raised in the city of Dearborn, where he attended public schools, then earned two degrees from the University of Michigan.

Looks like The Detroit News is trying to create the false impression Alawieh just got off the plane from the Middle East and decided to run for office.
