The anti-Israel “Squad” member is backing Imraan Siddiqi’s bid to unseat a Democratic incumbent, as progressive challengers target fellow Democrats in Washington state legislative races.
U.S. House of Representatives “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) endorsed the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington state, who is attempting to unseat a fellow Democrat in the state legislature, part of a growing trend in the state.
Imraan Siddiqi, who is running as a Democrat and was endorsed back in March by another progressive “Squad” member, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), said on Wednesday that he was “honored” to receive Omar’s endorsement.
“This one is big,” he wrote. He called Omar a “fighter for justice.”
He is a candidate for the state House in the 32nd Legislative District, position two, challenging incumbent Democrat Lauren Davis.
