Abdullah Hammoud is an American politician who has been Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, since 2022. A member of the Democratic Party, Hammoud had previously been in the Michigan House of Representatives, representing the 15th district from 2017 to 2021.
Abdullah Hammoud is the first Arab-American, Lebanese American and first Muslim Mayor of Dearborn as well as the second youngest mayor in the city’s history. His election is considered historic as the city is home to one of the largest Middle Eastern and Muslim populations per capita in the United States.
In 2024, Hammoud declined an invitation to meet with Biden campaign officials prior to the 2024 United States presidential election, due to the Biden administration's stance on the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War. Explaining his decision on X, Hammoud wrote "I will not entertain conversations about elections while we watch a live-streamed genocide backed by our government."[1]
According to The Washington Post, Hammoud was approached by Jill Stein, 2012 and 2016 presidential nominee for the US/Green Party, to be her running mate for her 2024 presidential campaign.[2]
