Minnesota House of Representatives
In February 2024, three-term representative Hodan Hassan (DFL) announced that she was not seeking re-election in 2024 for District 62B of the Minnesota House of Representatives. Soon after, Mahamoud announced her candidacy and sought the endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party.[7] She received the party's endorsement in a tight field of candidates vying for the seat[8] and the other candidates dropped out prior to candidate filing, leaving the seat without a primary election.[9] In the 2024 general election, Mahamoud won the seat, defeating Republican candidate Bob Sullentrop by nearly 75 percentage points.[10]
