Dear John,

We’re thrilled to announce the endorsement of Heather Edelson for the Hennepin County Board District 6 Special Election on May 14th! 

Heather has been an incredible advocate for reproductive freedom in the Minnesota House since she was first elected in 2018. She served as a critical vote for the passage of landmark legislation like the PRO Act and PAC Act, and has worked tirelessly on numerous issues including increasing long term care, disability, and mental health funding while in office. We are proud to stand with her as she continues this exceptional legacy of work on the Hennepin County Board!

Heather Edelson is a current State Representative that represents Edina and a portion of Bloomington. Heather was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2018 and serves on Ways and Means, Environment, Human Service Policy and Education Finance Committees. Prior to her work in the House, she was a mental health therapist.

Women Winning will make additional local endorsements this summer and will continue organizing to ensure reproductive rights are protected by electing pro-choice women up and down the ballot.
