How is she holding office? @ICEgov @DHSgov @RealTomHoman pic.twitter.com/7PuE4GoPQP
To qualify for office in the Minnesota House of Representatives, a candidate must be a citizen for three months before an election.
In May, Her posted a legislative update in which she said state Republicans wanted to “hold the state budget hostage” unless healthcare access for “our undocumented neighbors” was removed. She maintained support for Minnesota’s undocumented residents, adding that they are “not our enemy” and instead are “part of our communities.”
In September, Her posted to X that she and her parents voted early at a rally that had Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) among the attendees.
Voted early today w/ my parents. It’s our first time together. The journey they traveled & the hardships they persevered through is why I have the freedom to be a part of this great democracy. Honored to early vote rally w/ @amyklobuchar @melissahortman @julieblaha @natehoodstp pic.twitter.com/B6QhqTOMEj
