Dr. Oz could make history as a Muslim senator, but his faith isn't a big part of his campaign
Dr. Oz could make history as the first Muslim elected to serve in the U.S. Senate
Dr. Mehmet Oz rarely talks about his faith on the campaign trail – but, if he wins, the son of Turkish émigrés could make history as the first Muslim elected to serve in the U.S. Senate.
"Pride and honor," Oz, the Pennsylvania GOP nominee, said in an interview last month when asked by ABC News' Linsey Davis what being the first Muslim in the chamber would mean to him.
He is already the first Muslim ever to be nominated by a major party for a Senate seat.

Oz being a Muslim is news to me as this is not mentioned in any Dem TV ads. But it would be if the parties were reversed.
