‘Squad’ Member Ilhan Omar Makes Announcement About Reelection

There is an open Senate seat available in Minnesota, and many political observers believe that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar would be vying for it.

But the controversial lawmaker stunned them when she announced that she would seek reelection to her current seat in the House and not pursue the Senate.

It is a much simpler road for the representative, who only needs to win the votes of her largely Somali-American community to keep her job and not gain a broader appeal in the state to join the Senate.

“At a time when our rights are under attack, it is more important than ever to fight back against the chaos, corruption, and callousness of the Trump Administration,” Omar said in announcing her intention to seek reelection, MPR News reported.

“I am excited to announce I am running for reelection for Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District to keep standing up for our rights in the face of authoritarianism,” she added.

“In Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money. Our campaign is ready to build on our successful grassroots organizing efforts to have a record turnout for the midterms and help win back the majority,” she said.
