(19,046 posts)1. Interesting about the winner...
Ilhan Omar just became the first Somali-American and Muslim woman lawmaker in the U.S.

(25,269 posts)2. That is interesting.
But she's not a lawmaker yet. She won the primary, not the general.

(19,046 posts)3. Right. I was blindly copying and pasting...
Thanks!

This district is very heavily dem.

A primary loss is a hell of a way to end a long career, but if you don't keep up with the times, it's going to bite you in the butt.
