Paterson, NJ June 7, 2006:
T he American Arab Forum, AAF, joins the Arab and Muslim community in New
Jersey in extending its heart-felt congratulations to Mayor Mohammed Khairullah

faired poorly in this overwhelmingly Democratic town. Arabs and Muslims comprise
about 30% of the town's population of 7500.

last year to serve the last remaining one year of outgoing Mayor Kubofcik
term.

President of AAF was elated by the great news of Mr. Khairullah’ victory. “His
dedication for public service, hard campaigning and the outpouring support from
the community have yielded results which make all of us proud.” Mr. Assaf added
that “Now is the time to proceed with the plans to run a very effective
campaign against the Republican challenger in the November elections. If Mr.
Khairullah wins the general elections, he will become the first dully elected
Arab and Muslim American Mayor of Prospect Park. Mr. Khairullah served as a
Councilman since 2001.
