Minnesota CD5 Republicans
Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District encompasses: Minneapolis, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, New Hope, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Brooklyn Center, Fridley, Columbia Heights, Hilltop, St. Anthony, Edina and Spring Lake Park. The Republican Party welcomes all Minnesotans who are concerned with the implementation of honest, efficient, responsive government.
At the Fifth Congressional District Republican Convention on April 11, 2026, delegates overwhelmingly voted to endorse Dalia al-Aqidi to defeat U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar in the November election.
“I am deeply honored and profoundly grateful to the delegates and alternates of Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District for placing your trust in me. Being chosen as your endorsed Republican candidate to take on Ilhan Omar is not just an honor, it is a responsibility I take seriously,” she said. “Together, we are sending a clear message: our district deserves leadership grounded in common sense, integrity, and accountability.”
Now it’s time to hit the ground running and support her!
This is an eye-opening look at the conditions of Minneapolis that are affecting the entire state of Minnesota, and not in a good way. Policies like defunding the police, and a Hennepin County Attorney who has created a revolving door for crime, have led to business owners fleeing not only Minneapolis, but also the state. And when the job creators leave, they take jobs with them. Former City Council Member Don Samuels said, “One of the things that … people do not examine is the role of business in the prosperity of a region, and the availability of jobs … and so business has become sort of an enemy.”
