Which Muslim Americans won statewide elected offices (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state) between 2015 and 2025?

1. Who the reporting names as statewide Muslim officeholders

Coverage repeatedly highlights Ghazala Hashmi’s 2025 victory as lieutenant governor of Virginia and frames it as a historic first for Muslim women elected statewide in the United States ^{[1] [2]}. Separately, multiple sources point to Keith Ellison’s prior election as Minnesota attorney general as the earlier precedent of a Muslim elected to statewide office, which reporting treats as the benchmark for “first Muslim man elected statewide” before Hashmi’s milestone for women ^{[1] [3]}.

2. What “statewide office” means in this reporting

The sources use “statewide office” to mean positions voted on by the entire state electorate — examples discussed include governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. The coverage explicitly treats Virginia lieutenant governor as a statewide office and cites Hashmi’s win in that context ^{[2] [4]}. Keith Ellison is described in the sources as having been elected statewide as Minnesota attorney general, establishing his status as a statewide officeholder ^{[1] [3]}.

3. Timeframe and chronology the sources provide

Sources place Keith Ellison’s statewide election in earlier years (not within the 2015–2025 bracket as a first-ever moment but as an established precedent that reporting cites in 2025) and report Ghazala Hashmi’s win in the November 2025 elections ^{[1] [2]}. No source in the set lists other Muslim winners of governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, or secretary of state offices during 2015–2025 beyond these references ^{[1] [2]}.

4. Which specific statewide offices appear in the sources

• Virginia lieutenant governor: Ghazala Hashmi is reported as the winner of the 2025 lieutenant governor race and is described repeatedly as the first Muslim woman elected to any statewide office in U.S. history ^{[2] [4]}.
• Minnesota attorney general: Keith Ellison is identified as the earlier precedent — “the first Muslim man elected statewide” — and is invoked by advocacy groups and reporters as the prior statewide Muslim officeholder ^{[1] [3]}.

Available sources do not mention other Muslim Americans winning governor, secretary of state, or additional attorney general posts between 2015 and 2025 (not found in current reporting).

5. How advocacy groups and outlets frame these wins

Civil‑rights and Muslim‑community groups (for example CAIR and MPAC) portray the 2025 victories as part of a larger surge in Muslim political representation and celebrate Hashmi’s and other Muslim victors’ historic significance ^{[1] [5]}. Independent outlets emphasize the novelty of a Muslim woman winning statewide office while also noting past milestones such as Ellison’s election ^{[2] [4]}. Conservative or alarmist outlets in the sample reframe the same data as evidence of ideological organizing, illustrating competing narratives in how the wins are interpreted ^[6].

6. Limitations and gaps in the provided reporting

The supplied sources do not comprehensively list every statewide Muslim officeholder from 2015–2025; they focus on high‑profile milestones and 2025 election outcomes ^{[1] [2]}. Specifically, the dataset does not include a complete roster confirming whether any other Muslim Americans won governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general or secretary of state races across all states in that decade — therefore any claim beyond Ellison’s precedent and Hashmi’s 2025 win is not found in current reporting (not found in current reporting).

7. Bottom line for your query

Based on the supplied reporting, the clear names tied to statewide victories in the 2015–2025 context are Keith Ellison as the earlier statewide attorney general precedent and Ghazala Hashmi’s 2025 election as Virginia lieutenant governor, notable as the first Muslim woman elected statewide in U.S. history ^{[1] [2]}. Available sources do not mention other Muslim Americans winning governor, secretary of state, or additional statewide attorney general posts during 2015–2025 (not found in current reporting).
