The Somali community is critical to the election. The speaker notes that they wouldn’t be in office without Somali support, as Somali voters came out in large numbers and helped register people to vote. Recently, several thousand Somalis were naturalized as U.S. citizens, and Somalis can have a huge impact on the election beyond Minnesota, including in Ohio and Virginia. The speaker emphasizes that Somalis should not only vote but also help others vote, to maximize turnout. On their campaign, there are strong Somali leaders such as Himu Issac, described as a great, articulate, smart young woman who is mobilizing Somali voters and other voters to the polls, and Miriam, among others involved in the campaign. The message is that the Somali community plays a critical role not just in Minnesota but also in Ohio (Columbus, Ohio) and Virginia, and there is a call to contact relatives in those areas to encourage voting.
