This is always the ward I find the hardest to sort out, and it’s because there’s always a bunch of stuff happening in Somali, which I do not speak. I do my best, but even more than in other wards, there is stuff happening in the race that I just do not know about.

And even just on the English-language side, this is also an incredibly messy race. The tl;dr is that I think people should vote for Kayseh Magan.

Edited 2/2024: Hello, MN District 49A voters searching for information on Tiger Worku! Apparently he moved to Minnetonka and is s now running for legislature in your district. You can absolutely do better. I do not recommend supporting him for DFL endorsement, or in the primary. Details below!

On the ballot:

Jamal Osman (DFL, incumbent)
Tiger Worku (DFL)
Kayseh Magan (DFL)
Guy T. Gaskin (Republican)

Putting in a break because this post is long.
