john — When I worked at Planned Parenthood, I learned firsthand the dignity and importance that reproductive freedom provides for Minnesotans. Then in my time as Lieutenant Governor, I saw Republicans fight tooth and nail to control women's lives by attempting to restrict abortion rights.
The only sure thing standing in their way was Roe — and now that the Supreme Court has overturned the right to safe and legal abortion, state legislatures are the last line of defense.
That‘s why I’m writing to you on behalf of Minnesota Senate Democrats – where my friends are going up against some of the most extremist Republicans my home state has ever seen – candidates who have pledged to turn back the clock and destroy abortion rights if elected this November. For the sake of so many in our state and for the safety of our neighbors, we can’t go back. So before I go any further, can you help support some of the most critical races for the Minnesota Senate? 100% of your contribution will be split between the campaigns of these incredible pro-choice women candidates.
With a 50-50 split Senate at the federal level, Democrats don’t have the votes we need to reform the filibuster and enshrine reproductive rights into federal law. Building Democratic majorities at the state level is a crucial tool that we have to fight back:
The path to flipping the Minnesota Senate is razor thin, but we know one thing: when we elect women, we protect the reproductive rights of thousands of Minnesotans for years to come.
So I need your help. We have an opportunity to hold the GOP accountable up and down the ballot, but that starts with you investing right now in the candidates whose races will help determine the state of reproductive health care in Minnesota.
Can you chip in $10 today to elect these pro-choice women to the Minnesota Senate? We’re raising money for more than 25 candidates who need your help, and 100% of your donation goes directly to their campaigns.

john, these candidates are leading with visions for a better Minnesota – one where public schools are fully funded, our air and water are clean, and our fundamental rights aren’t up for grabs. They’re doctors, nurses, teachers, and local leaders who understand that women – not the government – should be able to decide for themselves when to have a child.
They won’t put bounties on the heads of doctors and nurses. They won’t throw women in jail for making their own health care decisions. And they sure won’t ignore the fact that most Minnesotans oppose abortion bans.
But these races are chronically underfunded and overlooked compared to federal races, so they need all the help they can get. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today.
These candidates are in some of the closest races in the entire country, john. Can you chip in $10 right now to help protect the fundamental right to abortion in Minnesota? Don’t forget, 100% of your contribution will be split between women candidates who need every last resource to turn out the vote, knock doors, and flip the Minnesota Senate blue this November.
Thank you for taking action,
Tina
