Bazzi is an immigrant from Lebanon who served in the U.S. Marines and was elected mayor in January 2021, the first Arab-American and first Muslim to lead Dearborn Heights. President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that "Bazzi also worked at Boeing as a quality manager, and Ford Motor Company as a product development engineer. After 22 years with Ford, Bazzi took an early retirement to serve his City as Mayor of Dearborn Heights. Bazzi worked hard during the 2024 Presidential Election to help us secure our Historic Victory, and I look forward to seeing the great things he will accomplish for our Nation."
