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.
Your neighbors are on the ballot this November. Republican candidates have filed in State Senate and House districts across CD5 to give every voter a real choice. They need your support to run a real campaign.
There is a critical deadline on July 20. Candidates who raise a threshold in small contributions by that date qualify for state campaign funding from a fixed pool shared between the parties. Every dollar our candidates unlock is a dollar the other side does not get. House candidates who raise $1,500 unlock roughly $5,000 in state money. Senate candidates who raise $3,000 unlock roughly $10,000.
And it costs you nothing. Minnesota’s Political Contribution Refund (PCR) program refunds 100% of what you give, up to $75 per person per year. Contribute $50 or less per candidate to count toward their subsidy threshold. The campaign sends you the receipt and everything you need to claim the refund.
Give online where a link is provided, or mail a check to the address listed. Make checks payable to the campaign name shown, not to the candidate’s personal name.

PARADES, EVENTS & VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Our CD5 candidates need volunteers for parades, door knocks, and campaign events all summer. Check the full schedule and sign up at Dalia’s campaign site: |
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!
No Events
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.”
