Ilhan Omar gets a lot of hate from the far-right and conspiracy theorists of all kinds. She has to deal with constant harassment and threats of violence, both online and in real life. Election Day is just weeks away, and our campaign is ramping up our efforts to mobilize voters, knocking on doors and meeting them on the ground. That’s why Ilhan does everything she can to ensure her and our campaign's safety by hiring a security team. But the thing is, security is expensive. Way more expensive

Ilhan Omar is facing constant attacks from the MAGA right. Can you chip in $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can afford to her reelection campaign to help her fight back?

Trump and his team have talked about having DHS go after me for months. Then, DHS agents showed up at my doorstep and raided my home. My team is preparing for the long legal battle that may come next as we prove to the American people that this investigation is entirely a partisan delusion. The legal fees from taking on this investigation will be immense, even if we win in the end. So, I’m coming to this team today to humbly ask for help. Can you chip in $10 or any amount you can afford tod

Is there anything we can say to convince you to chip in $20 to Ilhan Omar’s campaign today? What if we told you Ilhan's primary is rapidly approaching and our campaign is falling behind its goals? With the stakes so high, our campaign cannot afford to slow down. Every dollar this grassroots team chips in right now will help us spread our progressive message and organize our neighbors in Minneapolis.

Can you rush a donation to Ilhan Omar’s reelection campaign so she’s prepared for the MILLIONS in dark money Super PACs are pouring into Minnesota?
9 September 2026 · Ilhan Omar · $9–10K · 150K+ impressions · Attack · Ad Library
Ilhan Omar needs your help RIGHT NOW. She's just filed to officially seek reelection, meaning the race to the primary election has begun. This race is going to be brutal as she faces challenges from the Democratic establishment and shameless attacks from Trump and the MAGA right. This comes during one of the most important fundraising months of her campaign. She has a huge FEC fundraising deadline at the end of the month, and our campaign cannot miss our goals. These goals are not arbitrary

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
