Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her didn't win b/c of her looks....../s..

A woman who previously declared she was living in the U.S. illegally won the election to become the next mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her emerged victorious late Tuesday night in the St. Paul mayoral election, defeating incumbent Democratic Mayor Melvin Carter after a tabulation of second-choice votes, according to election results. Her, who was born in Laos and entered the U.S. as a refugee, once claimed during a public debate that she and her family were illegal migrants, but later walked those claims back.
“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Her said in June during a Minnesota House of Representatives floor debate over Medicaid eligibility for illegal migrants.
“I tell you this story because I want you to think about who it is that you are calling illegal,” Her continued. “My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here.”
Later that day, the state representative told the Minnesota Reformer, a local news outlet, that she and her parents were actually American citizens, but made the stunning claim in an attempt to inspire empathy from her GOP colleagues. However, Her maintained that her father technically broke the law when filling out refugee paperwork for her family.
“Technically, you would say my father broke the law, right? But we would have come anyway,” Her said to the Minnesota Reformer at the time.
Her will begin leading St. Paul, a city of more than 300,000 people, in January 2026, becoming the first woman and first member of the Hmong community to do so, according to MPR News. A member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, she previously served in Carter’s office before challenging him for his seat.
In nearby Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey is still fighting off a challenge from Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh. While Frey accumulated the most first-choice votes Tuesday night, he fell short of the majority needed to win in the first round, pushing the election into a count of the second and third-choice votes, according to Fox 9.
Democrats made major gains across the country on Tuesday night. Virginia Democrat State Rep. Abigail Spanberger handily won the state’s gubernatorial election, Republican Jack Ciattarelli lost his bid to flip the New Jersey governor’s seat, while socialist darling Zohran Mamdani emerged victorious in New York City’s mayoral election, defeating both former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Well, at least ICE will know where to find her.
Yep. Beat me to it.
Investigate and see if she’s illegal. If so, arrest her and deport her. For what are you waiting?
No kidding.
Her did?
Guess her pronouns are her/her.
ICE needs to funded 10,000% more than whatever it is now
EXACTLY what I was going to say.
Along with Ilhan Omar.
If she is legal then hopefully she can be charged with stolen illegal alien privilege.
As expected, the posters terribly concerned about the 89 Israeli - American Jewish Congressmen (a straight up lie) can’t be found to comment when an actual admitted illegal alien takes office.
Only figments of their demented anti-Semitic imaginations bother them.
Good one! ROFL!!!
and not a shot fired

File suit against St. Paul, since it is illegal for her to be working for them.
Paging Tom Homan, Tom Homan please pick up the white courtesy phone.
St Paul elected Kaohly Her who is a socialist. She blames Trump for the shutdown....
She beat Melvin Carter who cancelled July 4th fireworks for several years saying they could not afford them yet he hired several friends of his for over $100,000 each. Glad he is gone.
What a weird looking Somalian.
Jacob Frey won again in Minneapolis. It was too close. The Somalians will fix the election next time.
Frey is a socialist too and a crook.
Expect more stealing from both.
Hmong are mountain people that originated in China, they were forced out and migrated to Laos and Cambodia. They were allies of the USA during the Vietnam War. Their leader was a Laotian General named Vang Pao. They headquartered from Long Tieng (CIA), on the plain of jars in Laos. Pop Buell, Tony Poe and Bill Lair were some of our operatives running the operation.
It is interesting the commonality between that operation and those US were involved with in the mountains of Afghanistan under Kurd leader, Massoud. And in the mountains of N. Syria under the Mountain based Kurds as allies. All 3 situations, they were good allies.
I’ve been following this stuff for many many years. You cannot help but admire their loyalty and the lucky among those mountain soldiers made it out and wound up in the USA.
Just background noise now.
Thx for the history lesson......enjoyed it.
That is a very brief summary.
Massoud in Afghanistan was leader of the Muj (mujahideen). They protected many groups of people before we stepped into the mess in Afghanistan. He hated the Taliban. A Taliban suicide bomber assassinated Massoud, on a visit to his home in the mountains. (Taliban could never beat him in battle)
