In politics, it can feel like the circus comes to town in the last few weeks of a campaign – just to vanish right after Election Day. Candidates show up, give a speech, and then take off.
I am doing things differently.
I’ve been traveling the state with my team over the last week because I want to hear directly from our neighbors.. These aren’t fancy fundraisers, they aren’t giant rallies – it’s just a handful of neighbors getting together. People are sharing what problems they’re facing and how they think we can improve things for Minnesotans. It’s inspiring.
Frankly, I think these conversations are the type of thing that’s missing from politics.
It is so easy right now to feel alone and isolated. But the power of gathering and talking to one another is what we need to get through this moment and move into action mode.
Listening to people and hearing them out — no matter what their views — and coming up with an action plan, that’s how we win. But I can’t do it alone.
I’m running for Senate to be a voice for Minnesota families in Washington. The average contribution to my campaign is just $25. Some people give more, some people give less – but the end result is that we are a grassroots movement powered by ordinary people who care about each other and want to make life better for everyone.
