A 10-year military veteran, Somali refugee, and GOP candidate, Shukri Abdirahman said she’s running for Congress because the United States is heading to socialism under the policies of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and the Biden administration. She’s confident she can defeat Omar in a traditionally strong blue district—Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District.
“I have served in the military for over 10 years to pay my country back for giving me a safe haven,” Abdirahman told The Epoch Times. “But right now, this is why I’m running—is seeing the state of my country head to a socialist dictatorship that I ran away from in Somalia.”
