Ilhan Omar has spent $2.97 million on her reelection this year. If you set aside refunds and transfers, her operating expenditures are $2.59 million. Only five members of Congress have spent more on operating expenditures so far this cycle.
Where is all that money going?
Much of it is going to her husband.
In March, the congresswoman (who perpetually scolded anyone who inquired about her multiple marriages) married her top campaign consultant, Tim Mynett. Mynett’s ex-wife alleged in divorce filings that her husband and Omar were carrying on an affair while both were married. Why does the congresswoman’s extramarital affair matter?
For starters, marital fidelity and sexual ethics reflect on character, which matters for elected officials.
But also, when Omar is funneling the lion’s share of her fundraising to her paramour-turned-husband, it’s a matter of public corruption.
As of June 30, according to her campaign’s latest filing, Mynett’s firm, the E Street Group, has pocketed $1.04 million of her $2.59 million in operating expenditures. That means that 40% of every dollar donated to reelect Omar lands in the bank account of her husband’s firm.

Bush senior was the one that really pushed Somali immigration. Along with Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social services.
Okay - thanks for the correction.
Of course not. The Democrats circle the wagons around their people. Republicans throw their own under the bus. House GOP is perfectly happy in the minority where they can complain and do nothing.
Besides every time that twat opens her anti-American mouth its great anti-Rat publicity. She’s actively campaigning for a Republican house and doesn’t know it.
California's "ballot harvesting" election laws have ensured the Republicans will never again control the House. They stood by with their thumbs in their mouths as Californians hand-walked every absentee ballot mailed to every Democrat voter, producing the Democrat House takeover that it was specifically designed to do and that will remain for the long forseeable future.
Just enforce the law. No reason to leave these rotten folks to break campaign finance and other laws. If they had R’s after their names, you know they’d be gone in a New York minute.
So she spent almost $3 million to campaign for a job that pays $174,000 per year and only lasts 2 years, for a total of $348,000 gross. Why would someone do that? I think I know. Can you guess?
...
Why shouldn’t she.. honestly... she gets away with it. I think we should do a citizens arrest.
You have my condolences.
We’ll see come November.
She came in during GHW Bush I think, might have been Clinton, but Bush got us into Somalia for no good reason.
