John,

What does Star Trek have to do with running for office and making history? More than you might think! 

Community organizer, campaigner, artist, and activist Amáda Márquez Simula has held many roles over the course of her inspiring political journey. In 2020, she added two important new titles to her resume: elected official and trailblazer. Now serving as Mayor of Columbia Heights, Amáda Márquez Simula is the first person of color elected to public office in the city’s history. 

For our latest Trailblazers & Changemakers interview, we were thrilled to speak with Mayor Amáda Márquez Simula about her authentic leadership, why representation matters, and… Star Trek! Find out what it’s all about and check out the full interview!

Looking for an extra boost of inspiration? Check out our Trailblazers & Changemakers archive for intimate conversations with Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, House Ways & Means Chair Rep. Rena Moran, and many more pro-choice women making the difference in Minnesota politics. Women Winning is so proud to stand with these leaders, and we’re grateful to members like you for making our work to elect them possible.
