    Officially filed to be on the ballot for US Congress to represent . I look forward to carrying on Congressman Keith Ellison’s legacy. We have hard fights ahead and I look forward to fighting alongside the residents of District 5.

    “This is something I could never have imagined as an 8-year-old living in a refugee camp. But now my reality could give hope to another young girl who is out there in the world looking for the promise of America.” ⁦⁩ ♥️

    It was wonderful to attend the Annual July 4th Oromo Barbecue yesterday. As an immigrant, it was beautiful to celebrate alongside the culture and resiliency of another community that helps make our state great. Hundimuu galatoma!

    Great news—now let’s get ahead of the issue and find someone who will take action on climate change.

    ICE needs to be abolished—we can’t settle for reform. An agency created only 15 years ago, whose tactics are inhumane and brutal, isn’t necessary for a healthy democracy. What we need is to pass a clean DREAM Act and provide a path to citizenship for all DACA and TPS recipients.

    I'm thankful to have been able to share my story! "Fleeing one's homeland is stressful and traumatic; no one should have to experience it. As an 8-year-old girl, I remember feeling lost; Somalia wasn't home anymore, and we didn't have a new one."

    Happy 4th of July. If you’re poor & working paycheck to paycheck, it’s not because of immigrants. It’s because corporations are making record profits while Trump & leadership refuse to craft worker-friendly legislation. Don’t build a wall. Build an inclusive economy.

    We shouldn’t revise history. We’re a country built on stolen land and the backs of slaves. Independence Day allows us to reflect on how far we’ve come and how much farther we have to go. Leveraging our voice to fight for justice is as American as it gets. Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

    Representing at the Edina Parade. My 12 year old daughter said she read about her in the paper and that “She is awesome.” Couldn’t agree more.

    Implementing "colorblind" admission standards ignores all institutional barriers to education faced by students of color in this country. The impact of generations of racial oppression is still visible and our commitment to its removal is critical.
