I’m no stranger to being underestimated, John. 

It’s Peggy Flanagan, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Minnesota.

As a child with severe chronic asthma, I was constantly told what I wouldn’t be able to do. And I proved them wrong.

When I first ran for school board in 2004, I was up against a crowded field — including two incumbents — and people told me I had no chance of winning. I became the youngest person to be elected to the Minneapolis Board of Education and won the most votes. I proved the doubters wrong.

In 2015, I became only the second Native American woman in the Minnesota House when I won my special election and proved the doubters wrong. 

So now, when I hear folks say we can’t compete with the avalanche of GOP cash coming our way I know that we will do what we always do, we’re going to prove the doubters wrong, again. 

There will always be doubters, but I’ve always chosen not to listen. I keep my head down, get the work done, and deliver for the people of Minnesota. 

That’s exactly what I’ll do on the Senate floor, John. Can you split a $10 donation between Rep. Mark Takano and I now to help us make history again? [ [link removed] ]

This campaign isn’t about me — it’s about all of us, working together to defeat extremist billionaires and make sure Minnesotans have a voice in the U.S. Senate. 

That’s why I refuse to take a cent of corporate PAC money. Every dollar we raise comes from people like you, giving a little bit at a time. 

I’m used to being the underdog, and I’m not backing down from this fight — but Rep. Mark Takano and I need people like you standing in my corner. A lot of folks say they’re building a different kind of campaign, but we really are and every penny counts. Please help us out with a split gift today. [ [link removed] ]

Thank you for everything! 

💚 Peggy
