Luai Ababneh is running for mayor. He was born in Saudi Arabia, raised in Jordan, and immigrated to the United States in the year 2000 to escape religious persecution. He is a U.S. Army veteran, serving from 2003 to 2012. He moved to Fallon in 2007.
Ababneh had a gunsmithing business in town from 2012 to 2017, and has helped the community in a variety of ways, such as establishing a social media presence for his church, giving them safety classes, and training many on the safe usage of firearms.
He is a believer in the US constitution, and that it is the supreme law of the land. He also believes in random acts of kindness, the equality of opportunity, and the strength of the free market. But most of all, he believes that the government is there to serve the individual, and not the other way around.
When asked why he was running for mayor and he told me this, “I was inspired by my belief that when an individual feels frustrated with the way local government is run, they should try to fix the situation the best way they can. Also, it is the beauty of the United States of America that anyone can fold their sleeves up and step into the political arena in order to fix the things they feel are detrimental to the quality of living for them and their fellow citizens.”
