Over 200 guests packed Byblos Banquets on Monday, September 9, to support city council candidate Tarek Baydoun’s fundraiser. 

Baydoun took the podium to thank his supporters and pointed out that his campaign is a grassroots movement that has evolved from daily interactions with residents and door-to-door knocking. Baydoun is one of three, first-time Arab American candidates, who won the primary and will compete for one of seven open seats on the council, on Tuesday, November 5.
