MEETNASSER
Nasser Beydoun is a longtime civil rights advocate and business leader with a proven record of building cultural and economic bridges that bring people together to create a stronger community. He, too, is tired of a federal government that is failing people.
“I’m in this fight to make a true impact and give America back to its people - people like you and me. Being a proud Michigander, I want to give back to the state that raised me and made me who I am today - a CEO, son, husband, and father of three who wants to help make the true American dream of a safe and prosperous life a reality for everyone.”
