A Somali daycare owner whose business received millions of dollars in taxpayer funding and state violations spanning multiple years is now headed to the Minnesota legislature. On Tuesday, Democrat Abdi Daisane won a Minnesota House seat, flipping a Republican-held district in St. Cloud. The victory came even as his childcare center faces scrutiny over receiving $7.29 million in state assistance and its connection to a nonprofit that settled fraud allegations for $18.5 million. His victory immediately drew backlash online, with critics questioning how a candidate facing this level of scrutiny won elected office. Daisane has not been personally charged with fraud.
