Abdel has been a community leader and fierce advocate on the School Board. He understands the importance of having elected officials who care about the community and the people who elect them, having lived in Egypt under a dictatorship where because of absence of representation and government accountability, quality of life is poor, government services are broken, and economic opportunities are limited.
"I left one Alexandria - Alexandria, Egypt - for opportunity, freedom, and prosperity and found it here in Alexandria, VA that's been our home for 13 years."
