Democrat state Representative Kaohly Vang Her’s comments on the House floor went viral online as she described herself as an “illegal immigrant” during debate about revoking taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal aliens. She states that her father forged immigration documents, mislabeling family members to gain citizenship. See video below:

Many conservatives were shocked by the admission and could not believe that she was in elected office. Before calling herself an “illegal immigrant” in the speech, Vang Her remarked about her friendships with Republican state Reps Elliot Engen (36A), Dawn Gillman (17A), and Josh Heintzeman (6B).

Vang Her is now running for Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota's Capital city, seemingly because she thinks woke leftist incumbent Melvin Carter isn’t far left enough! St. Paul is already a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens and will not cooperate with I.C.E. deportations, what more could she want? On Vang Her’s website listing her vague priorities she insinuates 911 calls for drug use (drug addicts) and mental health (lunatics) are “non-police emergency calls”, thinks growth can substitute tax cuts, wants to develop more low income housing to be ghettoized, and wants to fight back against Trump on behalf of illegal aliens and men pretending to be women.

Interestingly, she is positioning herself to the right of Melvin Carter on issues like business, regulations, crime, and government efficiency. Vang Her is also positioning herself to the left of Carter on illegal immigration by arguing that Saint Paul can’t just refuse to cooperate with I.C.E. but must be oppositional. She also considers illegals to be “citizens” and that the St. Paul Police force must protect them against I.C.E. (irresponsibly demanding local police fight federal law enforcement on behalf of illegals). 

To throw another wrench into the equation, Vang Her was Melvin Carter’s policy director during his first term, highlighting that little separates the two ideologically however her attacks on Carter’s mismanagement of the city appears to be landing.

Vang Her joins a trend of ultra-woke, far leftists running for Mayoral offices like we see with Omar Fateh in Minneapolis and Zohran Mamdani in New York City. The Democrat base of major cities has shifted so far to the Socialist left and the Democrats from swing districts are enabling it!

Just like previous A4L reporting showed with Aric Putnam (SD14) and Judy Seeberger (SD41) endorsing Muslim Socialist Omar Fateh, six swing district Democrat legislators have endorsed Vang Her’s insurgent left wing campaign including newly elected House Dem Leader Zack Stephenson (35A), Reps Josiah Hill (33B), Pete Johnson (8A), Brad Tabke (54A), Dan Wolgamott (14B) and Senator John Hoffman (SD34). Unlike the left’s celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death, A4L will show grace and give a pass to Hoffman and his recent endorsements as he and his wife nearly lost their lives due to the lunatic who also assassinated Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog.

As far as the five House Reps are concerned, they all witnessed on the floor that their colleague admitted she was in our country illegally! DWI Dan Walgomott, who is running for MN State Auditor, was even sitting right next to her and clung onto her every word like a psychopath! 

Brad Tabke shouldn’t even be in office with the major election fraud in his race and nobody should respect his endorsement. All of these swing district Democrats, Pete Johnson of Duluth in particular, pretend to be blue-dog, Jim Webb-style Democrats but at the end of the day, they are just as pro-open border as any blue-haired radical leftist at an anti-I.C.E. riot. One would think that swing district Dems would favor their constituents over illegal aliens but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The League of Women Voters of Saint Paul held a candidate forum with Carter, Vang Her, and three other candidates: Chinese immigrant scientist Yan Chen, bike lane obsessed engineer Adam Dullinger, and capitalist businessman Mike Hilborn who is running as an Independent. The full debate can be seen here. 

On the question about immigration during this forum, only Hilborn said he would cooperate with I.C.E. as Mayor while the other four said they would not. Vang Her called illegal aliens “citizens” that the Saint Paul Police force must protect against federal law enforcement. Vang Her expressed that illegal aliens’ Constitutional Rights are being violated which is odd considering her record as a pro-lockdown, anti-freedom legislator during Covid and her support for gun control and all kinds of big government policies.

On the issue of gun control Melvin Carter proposed banning assault rifles, binary triggers, guns in rec centers/libraries, and requiring all guns have a serial number. Vang Her complained the city didn’t help her with her gun control bill on reporting lost or stolen firearms. Candidates Chen and Dullinger expressed support for gun control with Dullinger pointing out that the Mayor can do very little about it and Hilborn directed the gun issue to fighting crime and putting more cops on the streets. 

On the question about rent control Melvin Carter stood by the policy and even claimed that the exemptions put in place solve 90-95% of concerns with the policy. Vang Her said “BIPOC” landlords had complained about the policy to her and she’d make changes, showing she would not care if white landlords came to her with the same concerns. Chen and Dullinger expressed concern with the exemptions and Hilborn said the policy must be totally eliminated and supported property and sales tax cuts. Dullinger also suggested creating Mamdani-style government run grocery stores at one point in the debate due to store closures thanks to high levels of theft.

Like Jacob Frey in Minneapolis, Melvin Carter does not have a single endorsement from the state legislature. The Star Tribune and others have listed Carter as a potential Lt. Governor candidate to run alongside Walz, however, Walz has not even endorsed Carter for reelection like he has done previously so it seems unlikely that a Walz/Carter ticket will be formed. Unlike the Minneapolis race is that Saint Paul did not hold a Democrat endorsing convention for Mayor.

The leftward march of the Democrat Party shows that they have learned nothing from the 2024 landslide election of President Trump, especially on immigration. These swing district Democrats may face serious political consequences as they double-down publicly by endorsing self-described illegal aliens for office that want open borders and to make Minnesota’s Capital city a refuge for illegal alien criminals. Saint Paul voters will get to rank the options for Mayor on Tuesday, November 4th.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the source of truth and critical information that Patriots cannot get anywhere else. In order to protect liberty for the next generation, our country, state, and cities must stop prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens. We will continue leading the conservative movement of our state by never wavering on our principles.
