In a race roiled in recent weeks by scandal, Liban Mohamed, the Muslim son of Somali immigrants, pulled off a surprising upset in a crowded 1st Congressional District, winning the endorsement of a majority of Democratic delegates at the party’s state convention Saturday.
Mohamed emerged as the top choice in a field with two candidates — state Sen. Nate Blouin and Salt Lake City Council member Eva Lopez Chavez — stung by scandal in the past two weeks and a front-runner, former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams, who some delegates viewed as too conservative.
After several rounds of ranked-choice voting, McAdams placed second.
“It’s a progressive’s time to lead. It’s the working class’ time to lead,” Mohamed said after the results were announced Saturday night. “The support is growing as people get to know us and learn about the campaign we’re running, the positivity that we seek to put out into our community, the fact that we’re focused on tangible outcomes for our communities and not headlines.”
Blouin, Mohamed, McAdams and Michael Farrell all gathered the 7,000 signatures to automatically qualify for the June primary, making the outcome largely irrelevant, but providing a barometer of where the support of the party’s most-engaged base lies.

Good grief!
These stinking Islamists have added Utah to their conquest list...
Even the Mormons have surrendered?
You get the gold star for today, my FRiend. Well played
Common polygamy.
"Minnesota Nice"
Coincidence?
“Liban Mohamed” or “Lying Mohamed”?
Thank you. I’m honored.
Well, Islamist Mormon Democrats anyway. What a combo!
How young do Mormons marry off their daughters?
Slowly, then suddenly.
Anyone endorsing a Muzzie - to be succinct - deserves death.
Islam is sooo linked with the awfulness of the DemocRAT party that they ae now essentially the same thing - save for the fact that at least, the Muzzies believe in a God. A cruel and unforgiving one, but at least a God. The Rats believe only in themselves, and their laughable ‘kollege eddikashuns’. Death to them all. The Daleks said it best - “Exterminate, exterminate”.
Hiring illegals, supporting gay marriage, electing muslims.
By being vaginas.
Never knew “Moroni” to wield a flaming sword...
But he was a flamer.
Coming soon: Learing Centers-Utah Franchise???
“Islam is sooo linked with the awfulness of the DemocRAT party that they ae now essentially the same thing”
All the antichrists are coalescing.
It’s a spiritual fight for heart of America which was founded on “one country under God.”
If it’s not kept that way, we’re doomed to oblivion and destruction.
Slowly, then suddenly.
USA?
