If Omar is on the ballot, they will likely elect her too.

“Minnesota needs Ilhan Omar’s voice in the Legislature and I am very proud to step forward and endorse her,” Dibble, a DFLer from Minneapolis, said in a statement Tuesday. “I’ve seen Ilhan in action and know that she is a coalition builder and will move social, racial, economic and environmental justice issues forward at the Capitol.”

Rybak said that there’s a lot to say for experience in public office, but “these positions aren’t lifetime appointments and it’s good to have some fresh energy.”
