创造历史

When Judge Nusrat Rashid ’93 was elected to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas in November, she achieved not one, but three landmark firsts.

“In the entire history of Delaware County, there has never been a Black woman elected to the trial court bench,” says Rashid.“我不仅是第一个赢得胜利的黑人妇女，而且是第一个跑步的黑人妇女。”

拉希德（Rashid）还成为宾夕法尼亚州的第一位穆斯林法官的历史，她以同样的荣誉享有“因为我的信仰与我的种族和性别密不可分。”

The 2019 election win marked the first time any Democrat had been elected to the trial court bench in Delaware County;拉希德是四个。

拉希德说：“人们不信任，因为他们受到了虐待。”“我跑步的主要原因之一是增加公众对法院的信心。”

With more than 20 years of experience as an attorney, and 10 years at her own private practice in Delaware County, it is not only Rashid’s track record that built a successful campaign, but also her commitment to the court’s original purpose: to serve the people justly.

拉希德说：“司法机构必须是多元化的，并代表它所服务的社区。”但是对她而言，这与“真正独立，并由法律上的正确和善良的动机”不可分割。”

拉希德（Rashid）在一月份担任替补席，看到她的胜利既是就职典礼，也是邀请函。

她说：“我打开了一扇门。”“我宁愿被称为第一个，而不是唯一的名字，因为第一个意味着将要有一秒钟。”
