Omar Applauds Senate Passage of Her Post Office Bills Named After Martin Olav Sabo, Charles W. “Chuck” Lindberg | 2022-12-20 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Democrat | House | MN | Ilhan Omar | O000173 | omar.house.gov | omar | https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON–Today, the Senate passed legislation authored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to rename post office locations in Minnesota's 5th District after the late Representative Martin Olav Sabo and Charles W. “Chuck” Lindberg. Rep. Sabo represented her current district, the 5th District of Minnesota, for nearly three decades. Lindberg was a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps corporal who fought in World War II and was one of the marines who raised the first American flag over Iwo Jima. The bills will now advance to President Biden’s desk where they are expected to be signed before the end of the year "I am thrilled that the Senate was able to pass my bills honoring Rep. Martin Sabo and Chuck Lindberg,” Rep. Omar said “As one of the marines who raised the first American flag over Iwo Jima, he dedicated his life to raising awareness of the first flag-raising and the sacrifices made by veterans throughout the war. Rep. Sabo built a career standing up for low-income families and the middle class throughout Minnesota. Together they represent the proud history of Minnesota’s 5th District, I particularly want to thank Senator Amy Klobuchar and Senator Tina Smith for their commitment to advancing these bills and continued partnership.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
