Ilhan Omar secures reelection, defeats pro-Israel opponent
|
[NEWARAB] Democrat Congresswoman 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. She is a member of The Squad, and would like to make the country look a lot more like Mogadishu...
of Minnesota secured re-election to the US House of Representatives, overcoming a pro-Israel Republican opponent and reinforcing her role as a prominent progressive voice in the US legislature.
Omar claimed her third term representing the 5th District, which covers Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs, with a decisive 76.4 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Dalia al-Aqidi's 23.6 percent, according to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
"Tonight, Minnesota's Fifth District showed the country what we believe in," Omar said in a statement. "I am so grateful that my constituents placed their trust in me and voted to send me back to Congress for a fourth term."
Her victory follows a challenging primary earlier in the year, when pro-Israel groups, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), backed an attempt to unseat her.
Omar successfully overcame this opposition, raising $1.6 million compared to her primary opponent Don Samuels' $535,000.
Her resounding win against al-Aqidi affirms her constituents' support despite attempts to unseat her.
