And a special thank you to our local leaders who joined us for this important conversation with our neighbors."

Later that day, Omar highlighted her visit to Chromatic 3D Materials in Golden Valley. She remarked on the company's contributions to national security through its partnership with the U.S. Army, sharing "It was incredible to visit Chromatic 3D Materials in Golden Valley.
