Omar Fateh, the son of Somali immigrants and a democratic socialist, is a leading candidate in the mayoral race in Minneapolis and seeking to unseat incumbent Jacob Frey. Fateh made history in 2020 by becoming the first Muslim and first Somali American to be elected to Minnesota’s state Senate. Fateh has run for mayor on a platform advocating for rent stabilization, raising the minimum wage and reforming how the city handles public safety. “Minneapolis can have a different kind of politics,” says Fateh. “Five years after the murder of George Floyd, [Mayor Frey] doesn’t have a plan, or doesn’t intend to have a plan.”
