Somali-American Congresswoman Wins Her 4th Term in Minnesota Polls

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has secured her fourth term representing Minnesota’s 5th District, defeating Republican challenger Dalia Al-Aqidi.

With 89% of precincts reporting, Omar won decisively with 76.4% of the vote in elections held on November 5.

Her victory in this predominantly Democratic district, which encompasses Minneapolis, highlights her strong support base in an area pivotal to recent discussions on racial justice and police reform.

The race attracted national interest due to its clear ideological contrasts, with Omar maintaining her progressive stance on these and other key issues.
