More Somali-Americans running for public office

Noted by the folks back home. The question is whether they are like Ilhan Imar or Ayaan Hirsi Ali [Garowe] Somalis living in the United States of America have continued to make history, especially in the political arena, a field that seemed to be almost an impossibility a few decades ago due to historical and cultural barriers in the West.
At Maine Legislator, a Somali-American woman from the Democratic Party is poised to break history after one of her challengers dropped out of the race, almost making her the main candidate ahead of November mid-elections in the country.
Recently, Fred Sanborn-Silvers of the rival Grand Old Party [GOP] commonly known as Republican withdrew from the race, clearing the path for Mana Abdi in her bid for Maine House District 95. Another Somali American, South Portland
 ...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...
Mayor Deqa Dhalac, is also running for a different House seat.
Should Mana Abdi win the seat, she would automatically make history in the tiny Eastern state of America. Maine is home to thousands of African immigrants colonists with most of them coming from War-torn Somalia, which has been facing unrest for over three decades.
A quick study shows that many Somalis living within the state have settled in Portland and Lewiston-Auburn. Several have held elected municipal positions, but none have been elected to the Legislature.
The late departure of Sanborn-Silvers from the race automatically prevented the Grand Old Party from fielding another candidate in the race since the laws don't permit such a move. The Democratic Party is currently at the helm of power in the US through President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Being a self-defined foreign policy whiz kid means never having to say you're sorry...
Sanborn-Silvers indicated on social media that he’s no longer a candidate "due to legal reasons." He didn’t return an email from The News Agency that Dare Not be Named seeking comment, CBS news reports.
Sanborn-Silvers drew attention two years when he said on social media that "Moslems should not be allowed to hold public office." He told Maine Public that it was a misstatement and that legal citizens should be able to run for office.
She will join Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, the Minnesota 5th District representative as some of the Somalis who are making history in the US. For Ms. Omar, she became the first Moslem woman to represent people in Congress, and in November, she will be vying for the third consecutive term.
