Why I am running

Home » Why I am running

For too long, Washington has served donors, not doers.
 Working people, teachers, small business owners, and parents are left behind — while the cost of living climbs, housing shrinks, and politicians blame everyone but themselves.

Enough.
 This campaign is about families, not factions. It is about solutions, not slogans.

When I say Educate, empower, and  Elevate. I mean building a future that works for all of us.


 We can’t rebuild our broken nation without recognizing the mistakes in choosing the wrong leaders. ~ Abdulle.
We cannot heal families without valuing those who protect and serve our community. ~ Abdulle
We cannot grow as a community until we start growing together. ~ Abdulle

MY VISION

  • Educate: Bring truth, transparency, and practical policy to the people. Slogans don’t achieve results; a leader does, and voters deserve a leaders who explain, teach, and involve real solutions.
  • Empower:  Shift power from the establishment group and corporate donors back to working families, first responders, teachers, nurses, parents, and small business owners.
  • Elevate: Lift communities through better jobs, affordable housing, accessible and affordable healthcare, and an economy that works for everyone, not just a few. 

Campaign Core: issue
 A movement for working families in Minnesota’s Second Congressional District.

1. Educate – Lead with Knowledge and Integrity

  • Invest in education as the foundation of freedom: universal pre-K, debt-free community college, and supporting educators.
  • Demand transparency in government, corporate accountability, and evidence-based policy.
  • Treat constituents as partners, not spectators, and hold monthly town hall meetings.

2. Empower – Return Power to the People

  • Raise wages, strengthen unions, and expand paid family leave.
  • Cap prescription drug costs.
  • Senior Prescription Cost Cap – advocate for seniors with zero copay.
  • Reform campaign finance by banning corporate PAC money in our community.
  • Build a partnership with the local community so family members, workers, and small-business owners can directly influence our election process priorities.

3. Elevate – Build the Future Families Deserve

  • Establishing a Family Equity Fund to assist first-time homeowners and develop programs and services for public service employees.
