2016

Omar's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Building an Economy for Everyone:

As a longtime resident of District 60B, I know how effective local hiring practices, prevailing wages for construction work, and labor peace for public contracts can be to build wealth and security into our communities. When we support individual workers, we support families, and we support our neighborhoods. And when we support communities and neighborhoods, we support cities, counties, and our entire state.

Closing the Opportunity Gap:

I support:

Universal Pre-K
Funding to hire more teachers of color
Reforming school disciplinary procedures to reduce suspensions
Helping parents access services so they can better support their children's education

Advancing Equity for All:

I am the only candidate endorsed by OutFront Minnesota Action and Stonewall DFL. I was humbled and honored to be part of our state's historic victories for marriage equality in 2012 and 2013. However, there is still a great deal of work to do in the struggle for LGBT inclusion. Many LGBT community members have endured bullying, homelessness, lack of opportunity, and discrimination. I realize that these struggles are the same struggles many new immigrants face. I understand civil rights issues are human rights issues. Discrimination is harmful no matter who you are; all people deserve respect and equity under the law. I will be a steadfast advocate for all underrepresented communities at the Capitol. It is not our job to judge one another, but to welcome and serve everyone.

I want to help build a world where chances of birth don’t define people’s lives. I want my daughters to be judged not by their gender or skin color, but by their contributions to our community.

I unequivocally support women's reproductive rights and I am the current Vice President of the DFL Feminist Caucus. I have fought my entire life for human rights and as your representative, I will continue that fight.

Making Higher Ed Affordable & Accessible:

As the next Representative for District 60-B, I will work to ensure that our state is sufficiently funding its public colleges and universities. Minnesota's higher education funding has decreased 26 percent since 2008. This is unacceptable in a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to support yourself without a college degree. Along with this increased funding, the state needs to start holding administrations accountable for investments that will directly improve the academic experience.

When it comes to addressing the debt already weighing on the young people in Minnesota, I will work to expand programs that provide debt forgiveness for public servants — teachers, nurses, and others — and cap student loan interest at a reasonable and affordable rate.

Protecting Our Environment:

I will advocate for groundwater sustainability, reducing agricultural pollution and enforcing Minnesota's existing buffer laws to reduce farm runoff that pollutes our water.

We also need to reach zero waste by maximizing recycling, composting, and product stewardship. I opposed the expansion of garbage burning at Hennepin Energy Recovery Center. We can find smarter, healthier ways to dispose of our waste.^[10]

”

Apology for tweet on Israel policy in February 2019

On February 11, 2019, six House Democratic leaders—Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (S.C.), Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) and Caucus Vice Chairwoman Katherine Clark (Mass.)—called for Omar to apologize for an exchange on Twitter where the leaders said Omar used "anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters."^[12]

The statement from the Democratic leaders said, “We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments. As Democrats and as Americans, the entire Congress must be fully engaged in denouncing and rejecting all forms of hatred, racism, prejudice and discrimination wherever they are encountered.”^[12]

Omar later released the following statement on Twitter: "Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes. My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize. At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. It's gone on too long and we must be willing to address it.^[13]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Minnesota

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
