Kenyan Born Huldah Momanyi Makes History by Winning Seat in Minnesota House of Representatives

Posted on November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 By Naomy Mbaka No Comments on Kenyan Born Huldah Momanyi Makes History by Winning Seat in Minnesota House of Representatives

Kenyan-born Huldah Momanyi Hiltsley has made history by winning a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives with over 64 percent of the vote.

Hiltsley competed against Wynfred Russell, a Liberian-born community leader and former Brooklyn Park City Council member.

In her acceptance speech, Hiltsley stated, “I stand here as the first Kenyan-born person ever elected in the U.S. This victory belongs to all of us; it is a testament to the resilience and strength of immigrants.”

Her victory marks a major milestone, making her one of the few African-born immigrants to reach this level of political office in the United States.

Originally from Nyamira County, Kenya, Hiltsley moved to Minnesota at age nine and has since built a strong reputation in public service and community advocacy.

Her campaign prioritized key issues such as public safety, equitable housing, and healthcare access, resonating with a diverse electorate that includes a large immigrant population.

Her grassroots approach and strategic voter outreach were instrumental to her success.

Running under the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Hiltsley will represent the communities of southwestern Brooklyn Park and Osseo.

Her win is seen as a significant step forward for immigrant representation in U.S. politics, especially in Minnesota, where many communities of colour feel underrepresented in government.
