Walz received $10K from donors tied to Somali-run day care centers

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), whose administration is accused of allowing Somali fraudsters to target Minnesota's child care subsidies program, received nearly $10,000 in campaign contributions from supporters connected to Somali-operated day care centers.
The Democratic donors involved in Somali day cares and home health services have written considerable checks to Walz's gubernatorial campaign, according to campaign finance filings compiled by the Washington Examiner.
Like the Somali-run child care facilities highlighted by videographer Nick Shirley, these companies appear as legitimate businesses on paper, but upon closer inspection, some appear not to be operational.
Walz's 2022 reelection campaign received $1,000 from Mohamed Rabi, of Hiawatha Adult Day Center Inc, which does not have its own website, for instance.
