Minnesota’s Primary Is Tuesday, August 11 — And This One Actually Matters

Primaries usually get ignored. But this year is different. Why? Nearly every major statewide office on the ballot is contested this August: U.S. Senate, Governor, Secretary of State, and State Auditor all have real primary races. And Hennepin is choosing a new County Attorney.

Because primary turnout is historically low, a relatively small number of voters end up deciding who Republicans send into November. A big turnout for the endorsed Republican candidate shows that Minnesotans support a strong challenger to Ilhan Omar.

You can vote before August 11:

In-person absentee voting has been open since June 26
Early Voting (Minnesota’s newer in-person option) opens July 24
Last day to vote early in person: Monday, August 10

Vote Dalia al-Aqidi for Congress.

Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District needs honest representation.

Our communities have been challenged in many ways. We have faced economic uncertainty, limited opportunity, and a government that wants to work for itself and not for us. But we are STRONG and resilient. The communities in the district are ethnically, religiously, and racially diverse and that is our strength. I will lead us to a more prosperous tomorrow by putting our community first.

We need leaders who see residents as individuals, with their own dreams for themselves and their children. We need leaders committed to serving all residents. We need leaders who are more interested in constituents than themselves, who will fight for all communities and hard-working families, rather than slices of the population and foreign influences. I am that leader.

We need someone who will reflect our values in Washington.

I will focus on the key issues that matter to the residents of this district:

Reduce the cost of living and eliminate government waste
Combat rampant fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars
Make our district safe for residents, workers, visitors, and small businesses
Educate our kids to their fullest potential and encourage school option

Secure our borders and prioritize legal immigration
Ensure America’s energy independence
Combat antisemitism and radicalism
Strengthen and protect our alliances
Prevent, fight, and combat government fraud through integrity, transparency, and accountability
