Ilhan Omar's primary opponent has raised a whopping seven times more money than the controversial Congresswoman - also raising the possibility Omar could be voted out of office after just one term.
Antonne Melton-Meaux brought in $3.2 million while Omar received $471,600 in the second quarter of 2020, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
Melton-Meaux, who seeks to unseat Omar in Minnesota’s fifth congressional district, is a lawyer and mediator.
It is nearly impossible for Minneapolis to miss Melton-Meaux's flyers and campaign ads that have blanketed television.
When asked what inspired him to run for office, Melton-Meaux told Insight News that Omar's controversial comments about Israel and pro-Israel lobbyists do not represent his values.
“That started me down a path of thinking whether this is the representation that reflects my values and the values of this district," Melton-Meaux said.
"In 2019 alone, she missed 40 votes. She missed more votes than all other Democrats in the Minnesota delegation combined, by many factors."

What’s even sadder is that’s not even in the top five of her crimes. If she stays in office long enough she will be up there with the clintons
She also married her campaign manager, after paying him a million dollars in consultancy fees, so the money ends up back in her pocket.
Easy way to make money.
...or Larry Householder.
Her seat is very safe for her. Her opponent could raise a billion and still lose.
It will remained to be seen.
Lose or not, we can be sure the media will continue to cover her every anti-American utterance as though she had won.
Yes,
But,
Did they consummate the relationship?
He’s as big a lefty as she is. He’s just not a Muslim nutcase.
This little witch will not be voted out. She is as safe as AOC is.
I recall many on FR here saying AOC would be toast. What’s not realized is we are dealing with commies that rig elections.
Adolf Hitler could be resurrected, run as a democrat for mayor in some large dem city, and be elected. It’s as plain and simple as that.
She isnt going anywhere folks, just like AOC was going to be voted out, she is solid in her position.
The folks who vote for people like her in the first place are not going to change their minds over ethics violations or whatever.
They don’t care.
Oh Heavenly Father please let it be so!
She already has stolen a few million.
And whats up with those immigration fraud charges?
Good sign, hopefully there are enough legal American loving voters in her district to vote her out.
