RELEASE: Cicely Davis Responds to the Arrest of Ilhan Omar
Minneapolis, MN - Candidate for U.S. Congress, Cicely Davis, released the following statement following Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN-5) arrest outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, July 19th:
Ilhan Omar’s campaign is not only celebrating but fundraising off of her arrest today in front of the Supreme Court. Her decision to embrace this stunt just weeks after an assassination plot against a Supreme Court Justice was foiled further demonstrates her poor judgment. We should expect more from our elected representatives.
Since taking office, Ilhan Omar has focused on herself and on increasing her own celebrity status at the expense of her constituents. The people of Minnesota’s fifth congressional district don’t need a celebrity activist. They need someone working tirelessly on their behalf.
I’m running to increase public safety while Omar is fighting to defund the police. I’m running to decrease the cost of living and combat inflation while Omar proposes one reckless spending bill after another.
We need calm leaders with steady nerves, not one who will experiment with the lives of those she is supposed to safeguard. The choice this November is stark. Today’s stunt was yet another reminder.
