Congresswoman Ilhan Omar endorses Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar endorsed Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor Sunday, giving the two-term state senator key support ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

“For many years, we have seen the concerns my neighbors and I are facing — about public safety, housing, affordability and so much more — be met with the same tired solutions or, frankly, none at all,” Omar said in a statement. “I have seen how dedicated (Fateh) is to our city and enacting the transformative change Minneapolis residents are demanding.”

If Omar brings the full weight of her political operation, including volunteers and fundraising, she could provide fuel to Fateh’s campaign just weeks away from Election Day.

DeWayne Davis, Mayor Jacob Frey and Jazz Hampton are the three other major candidates for mayor.
