She is someone who listens, cares, and takes action. A person is a person in Zena’s eyes—and everyone matters.

Read the full endorsement

Zena Al-Mudaris is the kind of person who truly believes that a person is a person. She is kind, respectful, compassionate, and genuinely motivated to make a difference in her community.

What stands out about Zena is that she is always willing to help others, whether she knows them personally or they are complete strangers. She doesn’t judge people by their race, colour, background, or religion. White, Black, brown, Muslim, Christian, or any other faith or background—to Zena, everyone deserves the same respect, dignity, and kindness.

She is someone who listens, cares, and takes action. Her motivation comes from wanting to see people and her community succeed. She treats others with the same respect she would want for herself, and she believes that our differences should bring us together, not divide us.

Zena isn’t just asking for your vote—she is asking for the opportunity to serve everyone. Her heart is in helping people, standing up for what is right, and working toward a better future for all.

A person is a person in Zena’s eyes—and everyone matters.
