Somali immigrant will challenge Kline for GOP nomination


Wednesday, February 10, 2010

U.S. Rep. John Kline has drawn a challenger for the Republican nomination. The Faribault Daily News reports that Mahamoud Wardereintends to run against the four-term incumbent in the 2nd Congressional District.

“Can you imagine? An anti-war GOP candidate who is an immigrant from Somalia, an African-American, too, and Muslim,” Wardere is quoted as saying.

Wardere previously spent six years as a community liaison in former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman’s office. In 2008 he also got caught up in a controversy over alleged voting improprieties among Somali voters at the Brian Coyle Center in Minneapolis.

Wardere is running as a Republican, but apparently wants to see major changes in the party. For starters, he wants GOP Chairman Michael Steele to resign.

“He failed miserably to lead our party and explain who the GOP leaders are,” Wardere told the Faribault newspaper. “He failed to reach out to Latinos and even African Americans. He must resign.”

Kline already has two Democratic challengers: businessman Dan Powers and former state Rep. Shelley Madore.

Why don't you too run for an office? You talk alot here like most politicians do!

[AbdiWahab252]

Navy9,

Inshallah, I will. I would start off something small: School Committee or Alderman. I am not going to be overly ambitious like our Kassim

[Navy9]

Who is Kassim?

[AbdiWahab252]

Navy9,

That Somali fellow, Guled Kassim who ran for Maryland's State Senate.




Our Resident Moderator, FAH1223, was knee deep in his campaign.

Navy9,

It was a branding issue & not getting support of core groups: the black church groups and community leaders along with not building up a political base. You need to learn to crawl before you can walk. He should have started off with a small position and worked his way up.

Kassim is a very Arabic/Muslim name. For my political ambitions, the use of Abdiwahab would be minimized to Al Jimale.
