About Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
Ilhan’s love for public service began at the age of 14 when she was as an interpreter for her grandfather at local DFL caucuses. Watching neighbors come together to advocate for change at the grassroots level made Ilhan fall in love with the democratic process. Her representation is built on cogovernance with the constituents she represents. That includes monthly town halls, routine constituent service resource fairs and a brand new district office. In 2016, Ilhan became the first Somali-American, Muslim legislator in the United States. With the help of her committed campaign team, they increased voter turnout by 37%. She was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 60B, where she’s lived for the past 20 years. In 2018, she became the first African refugee to become a Member of Congress, the first woman of color to represent Minnesota, and one of the first two Muslim-American women elected to Congress. Rep. Omar has won eight elections and served her constituents for three consecutive terms in Congress.
