ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted material without permission. However, here is a summary of key biographical details about Ilhan Omar: Ilhan Omar is a Somali-American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district since 2019. She was born in Somalia in 1981 and immigrated to the United States as a refugee in 1995. She earned a degree in political science and international studies from North Dakota State University. Prior to her election to Congress, Omar served in the Minnesota House of Representatives from 2017 to 2019. She made history as the first Somali-American legislator in the U.S. and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. I aimed to provide a concise summary while respecting copyright restrictions. Please let me know if you would like me to elaborate on any part of this summary further.read less
