Most of them anyways….

I'm running to replace Rep. Omar because she is one of the few House Democrats who put making a point over making a difference. Time and again, my opponent votes against common-sense legislation that would improve the lives of residents in Minnesota's 5th CD and the nation.
Rep. Omar :

Was one of only six Democrats who voted against Pres. Biden's infrastructure bill which provided $4.8 billion for roads and bridges in Minnesota and millions more for public transportation.

Voted against sanctions on Russian oil to help Ukraine and was 1 of only 8 votes (Including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie) in the entire Congress against seizing and selling the yachts
and villas of Russian oligarchs.

security funding for The Capitol after the violent insurrection on January 6th

My opponent claimed in a blast email this morning that she is “proud to be the only candidate in this race who is endorsed by national pro-choice groups.” A few supporters have reached out asking why I am not endorsed by the group she is referring to called “ ” – I filled out their questionnaire affirming that I fully support a woman’s right to choose. My pregnancy story was even on the front page of the Star Tribune when Roe was overturned this June.

However, this group had a questionnaire question that did not have to do with abortion rights where I answered “incorrectly” for them. That question is whether I support reducing the police budget. I believe we need to hire more public safety officers to deal with a rise in crime coupled with the 35% reduction in officers in Minneapolis. That will take funding.

Police violence is not a result of too much funding and getting rid of the police will not automatically make communities like mine safer. I am disappointed that a “Pro-Choice” group would stake their endorsement on whether you support defunding the police. My opponent continues to receive support from these groups while avoiding questions about her own position. It might not always pay off for me politically, but I will continue to be transparent.
