March 5, 2014
The Republican Party of Minnesota is proud to announce that Abdimalik Askar is the endorsed Republican candidate running for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 60B in Minneapolis. Askar is the first Somali Minnesotan to be endorsed by Republicans to run for the state legislature.



“Abdimalik Askar is a dynamic candidate, and we are so pleased that he stepped forward to run,” said Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman, Keith Downey. ”It is exciting for Republicans to endorse someone from the Somali community, but more importantly, he would represent his district so well. He is a very talented individual. And he stands strongly for the American Dream and the values of his community “
Askar is basing his positive message of opportunity on conservative values including better schools and school choice, small businesses, family values, and promoting diversity within our communities.

As a young Somali Minnesotan, Abdimalik Askar is a respected leader, speaker, television producer, and assistant principal in his community. Minneapolis has been home to Askar and his family for over twenty years, providing him with the understanding to bring positive change to his community and bring forth opportunity for young Minnesotans.

Concluded Downey, “We are excited to have Abdimalik as a future Minnesota Representative, and we wish him luck on his campaign.”
