Remember this lady who called herself an illegal alien earlier this year?
Well, while Rep. Kaohly Her was bragging about her sketchy legal status (apparently she got legal status as a teenager?) she was also running to be the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota.

'Here is my commitment to you: As your mayor, I will always show up. We are a large city, but a small community. Being involved matters. How we run our government matters.

Here's part of her acceptance speech:
