Rep. Ilhan Omar

ICYMI: We secured $12.7 MILLION for 15 community projects throughout Minnesota’s 5th District. In total, we have secured over $50 million for community-centered projects. That’s government in action. I will always fight to ensure we have a seat at the table.💪🏾

Republicans introduced a bill that would designate workers who use entrepreneurial discretion in their day to day jobs as independent contractors. It could strip millions of workers of their basic rights and labor protections. Today, I introduced an amendment in…

The Epstein files have Republicans in chaos. Education & Workforce Committee pulled down a vote on a human trafficking bill because the Pedophile Protection Party refuses to even consider an amendment on the files.

Happy National Park and Recreation Month!🌿 Since coming to Congress, I've been proud to secure over $7.4 MILLION in federal funding to support the development of parks & rec programs across #CD5. I'll keep fighting to invest in our community spaces and help our neighborhoods…

No one should be deported to a war zone. This administration is quietly sending people to countries they’ve never known, in the middle of conflict, with no safety net and no accountability. We must abolish ICE. theintercept.com/2025/07/11/con…

I'm proud to announce that our office has helped return nearly $3.75 MILLION back to Minnesotans through casework this year! 💪🏽 We're just getting started! During this week's resource fair, my office helped #CD5 constituents with federal agency issues related to social security,…
