Dear John,
With Walz as Harris’ VP pick, Minnesota’s been in the national spotlight lately. People are calling our state a “North Star” for policies that put working people first – from free school lunch and paid family medical leave to protections for voters, workers, and LGBTQ+ people.

While Walz deserves some credit for getting these historic policies over the finish line, it was Minnesotans across race and geography who organized for decades to make these wins possible – a key part of that: electing state legislators ready to lead with and for the people. In 2023, the first year of the blue trifecta, the House and Senate introduced a record number of bills, acting swiftly to deliver for Minnesotans.

This year, we must choose state legislators ready to build on that momentum. That's why I’m excited to announce our endorsement of three key progressive candidates for Minnesota House:
Abdi Daisane (District 14A, St. Cloud/Central MN);
Jen Fox (District 41B, Hastings/Cottage Grove); and
Anquam Mahamoud (District 62B, South Minneapolis).
All three are rising leaders. Abdi and Jen are in competitive races where we can flip House seats from red to blue.

Minnesota has become a North Star because of progressive leaders who respond to organizing and push toward progress and people-centered policies, like Adbi, Jen, and Anquam. Electing champions like them is the most powerful way to undermine fascist threats to democracy, defend access to abortion care, and protect LGBTQ+ lives – in Minnesota and everywhere.
With leaders like Abdi, Jen, and Anquam, we can continue to push back against fear and darkness and be a light for people here in Minnesota and across the U.S.
Check out our full list of endorsements, and get ready to vote early.
