Who is Yomi Faparusi and why does he want to represent Tennessee’s 4th District?


Yomi Faparusi Sr. “Fapas” came to the United States in search of the American Dream. Fapas had to work minimum wage jobs in his quest and faced adversity. This life experience taught him that, it is not so much about whether one falls but it is more about how one rises after each fall. Above all, his opportunity to work with hard working Americans has made him appreciate what makes American unique and exceptional.
Dr. Faparusi grew up in Nigeria, West Africa; He received his Jurist Doctorate from Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware graduating with Cum Laude honors. Prior to law school, Dr. Faparusi received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Ibadan’s College of Medicine in Ibadan, Nigeria and his PhD in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Fapas is a licensed physician, attorney and researcher. He currently runs three small businesses- a law practice, a consultancy partnership and a service oriented company.
Over the past decade, Dr. Faparusi has been very active in Republican campaigns within Tennessee and nationally. Yomi has spent a lot of time and effort to promote Conservative candidates such as working the Iowa Caucuses in 2012 for the Rick Perry campaign, driving through miles of rural Iowa to talk to the farmers. In the months leading to the 2012 general elections, Dr. Faparusi made multiple trips to central Ohio for the Romney/Ryan campaign to collect data as well as campaign door-to-door in northwest Ohio. Fapas has also been a member of Young Republican groups starting with the Maryland Young Republicans (MDYR) and lately the Tennessee Young Republicans.
As a Christian and a Conservative, Yomi believes that he can take the Common Sense, Constitutional message from Tennessee’s 4th District to Washington DC.
Dr. Faparusi is married to Yetunde Faparusi and they are blessed with 3 sons, Laolu, Baba and Yomi Jr.

kind of a confused fella. He assumes because he is Christian there will not be a bias against him based on his name. I will be shocked if he can get 25% of the primry vote.
Actually being Christian gives him an edge among republican voters. Especially being a honest black Christian. The conservatives are very religious, thats why Ben Carson was leading the polls in the beginning, he only lost all his momentum after he started to fumble when discussing the major issues. Then for the final elections if he can clinch the nomination he should have no problem because Tennessee is a red (predominantly Republican) state

You just conjured the idea in your mind and came up with your conclusion. Do you know his constituency? Who told you it is Christianity that gets one elected? You seem to be thinking in Nigerian context.

His "I started from the bottom" story, Christian beliefs, and his cultural background could propel him to victory.

Just like South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley - who is of Indian heritage - the Republicans would advertise him as the face of a diverse party.

If I can remember clearly, he wrote his GCE in his 4th year or so and passed. I don't think he was with us till form 5.

We were the last form 5.
