Are you feeling enriched by our newfound diversity yet?
Somali Ilhan Omar defeated 22-term incumbent Phyllis Kahn for the nomination of the DFL to serve as the representative of House District 60B in the state legislature. Omar came in first in a three-way primary race for the nomination in Tuesday’s primary. When elected, Omar will be the first Somali to serve in the Minnesota legislature.
As Scott Johnson at Powerline notes though, Omar has a very interesting background.
