Hi everyone!

As many of you know I have been battling cancer the last 11 years of my life.
Unfortunately I've had a recent relapse and insurance will not cover my next treatment plan. Please help if possible!

My name is Don Samuels, and I'm the Democrat challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar in the upcoming primary on 8/13. As a teenage immigrant, America offered me hope and opportunity when I had none, and I've spent my entire adult life trying to return the favor by serving my community.

[Don Samuels @DonSamuelsMN]

I’m proud to call this beautiful city home, and it’d be the honor of my life to represent it in Congress. I hope to earn your support today.

Thank you, Mill City Times!
“Samuels Over Omar for Congress”

“Samuels’ outcomes-orientated, pragmatic approach to politics is sorely needed in today’s polarized and combative political environment. Minnesota has long served as a haven for this leadership style, and a Samuels’ victory would be a welcome return to a more productive brand of politics.”

[Don Samuels @DonSamuelsMN]

I'm proud to be endorsed by three previous DFL (Democratic party in MN) state party chairs: Mike Hatch, Brian Melendez, and Todd Otis. The primary election is tomorrow, get out and vote MN-CD5!

[Don Samuels @DonSamuelsMN]

Another satisfied constituent....oh wait, no, a celebrity who doesn't live here nor is from here. Also, unfortunately, Rep. Omar voted against President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, which has created over 38,300 good-paying union jobs and made a historic investment in combatting climate change.

[Don Samuels @DonSamuelsMN]

My opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, has failed to stand with Ukraine since Putin's invasion. She voted:

❌ Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act
❌Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act
❌National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 I will stand with Ukraine.

I will stand with Ukraine. CD5, vote today in the Democratic primary!

In September of 2022, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Iran's oppressed Kurdish minority, was stopped and arrested by Iran's 'morality' police, who routinely detain women who do not comply with their abusive and discriminatory religious laws.

She was pushed into a police van and beaten and tortured by the morality police. She fell into a coma and died three days later.

Congress passed a bill in her honor, to hold Iran's leaders accountable for their repression of women and continued disregard for basic human rights.

The bill (The MAHSA Act) passed the house on a vote of:
✅410 - Yes
❌3 - No

❌ - Rep. Ilhan Omar

Unlike my opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, I would have voted yes on this bill, and I will always fight for universal human rights.

Good luck today, @DonSamuelsMN! If you’re in Minnesota’s 5th district, make sure to vote for Don Samuels.

Don Samuels is a Democrat challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar in the primary election today in CD5. Rep. Omar was one of only three members of Congress who voted against the historic #MAHSAAct, which honors Mahsa Amini.

Samuels stated, “Unlike my opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, I would have voted yes on this bill, and I will always fight for universal human rights.”
