Ruwa Romman, born around 1993, is a Palestinian–American politician who made history in 2022 by becoming the first Muslim woman to be elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives.
Romman was born in Jordan and moved to the United States when she was just 7 years old. She pursued her education in the United States, attending Oglethorpe University and Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy. She graduated from McCourt with a Master’s degree in Public Policy in 2019.
After graduation, she worked for Deloitte as a senior consultant. Romman has been involved in local politics and civic engagement groups since 2014. In 2020, Romman co-founded the Georgia Volunteer Hub, which trained thousands of volunteers to support the Georgia Senate Runoff election.
