Could Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh, who's running for mayor of Minneapolis, become the next Zohran Mamdani ?
Mamdani, the 33-year-old Ugandan-born state assemblyman from New York City, stunned the nation's political world last month by coming from behind to convincingly win the Democratic Party mayoral nomination in the nation's most populous city.
With his victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates, Mamdani took a big step towards becoming New York City's first Muslim and first millennial mayor.
Like Mamdani, Fateh is a Muslim democratic socialist and, at 35, a fellow member of Generation Y.
Mamdani, as he runs for mayor, is pushing an agenda that includes eliminating fares to ride New York City's vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) "tuition-free," freezing rents on municipal housing, offering "free childcare" for children up to age 5, and setting up government-run grocery stores.
Fateh, the son of immigrant parents from Somalia who five years ago became the first Somali-American elected to the Minnesota Senate, pledges if elected mayor to raise the city's minimum wage, increase the supply of affordable housing, and combat what he calls police violence.
Republicans have been relentless in taking aim at Mamdani and his far-left proposals. They are repeatedly trying to make him the face of the Democratic Party while also attempting to anchor him to vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in next year's midterms.
While not grabbing the kind of media frenzy that surrounds Mamdani, Fateh is started to get targeted by Republicans and conservatives.
Charlie Kirk the conservative host and MAGA-world rockstar who leads the influential Turning Point USA political youth organization - recently took aim at Fateh over his Muslim identity.
On Saturday, the Minneapolis Democratic Farmer Labor Party (the name of the Democratic Party in Minnesota) meets to decide whether to make an endorsement in the city's mayoral race. Insiders say the party will likely either back Fateh or stay neutral and not endorse any candidate.
There are other candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that are grabbing attention in municipal races across the country.
Among them is Michigan's Denzel McCampbell, who is running for the Detroit City Council in District 7. McCampbell has a history of working on issues like voting rights.
In Ithaca, New York, student organizer Hannah Shvets won a primary to represent the city's Ward 5.
Shvets, who is pushing a platform focused on affordable housing, climate action, public safety reform, and government transparency, is supported by the Ithaca chapter of the DSA.
明尼苏达州参议员奥马尔·法特赫（Omar Fateh）正在竞选明尼阿波利斯市长，他会成为下一个佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）吗？
33岁的乌干达裔纽约州议员曼达尼（Mamdani）上月以黑马之姿后来居上，在美国人口最多的城市赢得民主党市长候选人提名，令全国政界为之震惊。
曼达尼在击败前纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫及其他九位候选人后，朝着成为纽约市首位穆斯林市长及首位千禧世代市长的目标迈出了重要一步。
与曼达尼一样，法塔赫也是一位穆斯林民主社会主义者，现年35岁，同属千禧一代。
曼达尼在竞选市长时提出了一系列政策主张，包括取消纽约市庞大公交系统的乘车费用、使纽约市立大学（CUNY）实现"免学费"、冻结市政住房租金、为5岁以下儿童提供"免费托育服务"，以及设立政府经营的食品杂货店。
法塔赫是索马里移民之子，五年前成为首位当选明尼苏达州参议员的索马里裔美国人。他承诺若当选市长，将提高该市最低工资标准，增加经济适用房供应，并打击他所称的警察暴力行为。
共和党人持续猛烈抨击曼达尼（Mamdani）及其极左政策提案，反复试图将他塑造为民主党的代表人物，并努力将明年中期选举中面临连任压力的弱势民主党人与他捆绑在一起。
虽然法塔赫（Fateh）没有像曼达尼（Mamdani）那样引发媒体狂热，但已开始成为共和党人和保守派人士的针对目标。
查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）——这位保守派主持人、MAGA世界的明星人物，同时领导着颇具影响力的美国青年政治组织“转折点”（Turning Point USA）——近日因法塔赫（Fateh）的穆斯林身份对其发起攻击。
周六，明尼阿波利斯民主农工党（明尼苏达州民主党的名称）将召开会议，决定是否在该市市长竞选中支持某位候选人。知情人士透露，该党很可能要么支持法塔赫（Fateh），要么保持中立，不背书任何候选人。
由美国民主社会主义者（DSA）支持的其他候选人，正在全国各地的市政选举中引发关注。
其中密歇根州的丹泽尔·麦坎贝尔（Denzel McCampbell）正在竞选底特律市议会第七区席位。麦坎贝尔长期致力于推动投票权等议题。
在纽约州伊萨卡市，学生组织者汉娜·什韦茨（Hannah Shvets）在初选中胜出，将代表该市第五选区。
什韦茨（Shvets）致力于推动以经济适用房、气候行动、公共安全改革和政府透明度为核心的政纲，并获得了美国民主社会主义党（DSA）伊萨卡分部的支持。
