MINNEAPOLIS — Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar narrowly defeated former Minneapolis City Council Member Don Samuels in Tuesday's Fifth District DFL primary.
"Tonight's victory is a testament to how much our district believes in the collective values we are fighting for and how much they're willing to do to help us overcome defeat," Omar said in a statement.
Omar is seeking a third term to represent the reliably blue Fifth District seat that includes Minneapolis and nearby suburbs.
