The first city in the United States to elect a female Somali-American mayor.<\/p>\n

Nadia Mohamed defeated Dale A. Anderson by a majority vote, becoming the first Somali-American to be elected mayor and the first black mayor of St. Louis. Louis Park.<\/p>\n

Nadia, who is 27 years old, also became the first person of Somali origin to win the mayoral election in the United States.<\/p>\n

“This election, of course, is more important than we have ever known, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to lead our city,” Nadia told hundreds of her supporters.<\/p>\n

The current mayor of St. Loius Park, who said that he will not run for the third time, supported Nadia, before Nadia announced her candidacy in April this year.<\/p>\n

Nadia defeated rival candidate Dale Anderson, a professor at the University of Minnesota, with more than 58% of the votes counted.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Deeqa Dhalac became the first Somali woman to become the mayor of a city, after the city council of South Portland in the state of Maine chose her to be the mayor of that city.<\/p>\n
