Amr Metwally

Hi, my name is Amr Metwally, and I am running for State House in District 85, Florida. You can refer to me as the accidental Muslim. I was born in Egypt on January 6th 1981, to American parents. My grandfather, whom I never met, was a Moroccan Jew and came to Egypt for some quick business. He ended up living there and did not mind that his offspring took the religion of the natives.
