Women Winning-endorsed candidates once again showed the power of pro-choice leadership at every level of government — with a 95% win rate among incumbents and an overall 76% win rate in the 2025 elections. These victories reaffirm that Minnesotans want bold, values-driven women shaping our communities.

Among this year’s milestones, Kaohly Her made history as the first woman and first Hmong American ever elected Mayor of Saint Paul, a groundbreaking win that reflects both her deep connection to her community and the growing demand for inclusive leadership.

At the state level, Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger’s victory in the Minnesota Senate District 47 special election ensures a steadfast pro-choice voice continues to represent Minnesotans at the Capitol.

And in Minneapolis, Kay Carvajal Moran became the first Latina elected to the Minneapolis Park Board, a historic step forward for representation in local government and for the communities she serves.

From city halls to school boards and park boards, Women Winning candidates continue to lead with compassion, integrity, and courage — demonstrating that local elections matter and drive the change our movement depends on.

Rep. Kaohly Her scored a major upset over Mayor Melvin Carter Tuesday, emerging as St. Paul’s first Hmong-American and first woman mayor, capitalizing on voters’ dissatisfaction after Carter’s two terms. 

“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. How we show up for people — in every corner of our city — matters,” Her said during victory remarks at Sweeney’s Saloon on Dale Street.

Her’s surprisingly strong challenge came after jumping into the race in August. A campaign spokesman said they knocked on 40,000 doors in their sprint to win nearly that many votes needed for victory.

“Three months ago, people told us this was impossible — look at us now!” she said.
