Don't know how to answer that. Betty McCollum is my representative and she's been a backbencher for 20 years now. As a general rule, I've had particularly dismal congresscritters.
Unknown: I talked politics with a couple of boys I'd guess are Somali, and suffice it to say it didn't go well when I didn't commit (this was 2016) to voting for Hilliary. It is fair to say that I don't really know Somalis well, except that they seem to be polite in ordinary interactions, and the young are very different from the older ones--classic immigrants in that way, really. I have not really seen the "fringe" of those who are traveling back home to commit terrorism, thankfully.

Wondering if the typical Somali in MN is properly represented by the likes of Ilhan Omar.

Well ... How many somalis do you know?
Probably 15-20. But I don’t talk politics with any of them. I don’t with any of my neighbors m, either.
so, you have no Somali friends, and you dont really know any Somalis. you need to get out more.
