Ola Hawatmeh, the Republican nominee for New York’s 19th congressional district, doesn’t bring many surprises to the table policy-wise. She’s an adamant supporter of the President, wants to build a wall on the southern border, opposes Obamacare, and is endorsed by the National Rifle Association. Her personal story, however, is unlike that of any candidate in history.
Hawatmeh, 43, is the daughter of Catholic Jordanian immigrants, a domestic abuse survivor, and she’s beaten cancer twice.
