DFL ENDORSED! With 63% of the votes, we swept the DFL endorsement on the first ballot! I’m so grateful to the delegates, alternates, and countless folks who spent their weekend enmeshed in the democratic process. Thank you to the CD2 DFL Convention volunteers for their endless patience and dedication. I’m honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for CD2.
We’re going to win big in November. We’re going to take on the greed and corruption that’s gutting working families. Enough is enough–let’s roll up our sleeves and win in November.
FINAL VOTE TOTALS:
Matt Little 104 votes, 63% of the votes
Rep. Berg : 35 votes, 21% of the vote
Sen. Klein: 23 votes, 14% of the vote
Congratulations to @LittleCongress and all the DFLers working to keep CD2 blue this November! Matt was born and raised in Lakeville, has served as Mayor, State Senator, and City Councilor, and has spent his career fighting for seniors, families, and working folks across the state. Let's get him to Congress!
New: Matt Little has won the CD2 DFL endorsement.
This means there will be a 3 way Dem primary in #MN02.
Kaela Berg and Matt Klein withdrew from seeking the endorsement shortly before the results were called but will move to a primary.
Faith in Minnesota: THANK YOU for putting your trust in me to lead Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. It’s an honor to win your endorsement!
Faith in Minnesota has fought to hold ICE accountable for their violence and abuse, Netanyahu responsible for the genocide in Gaza, and Trump to account for his broken promises, pointless wars, soaring gas and oil prices, cruel cuts to health care and Medicaid, and dictatorial abuse of his office.
We should all be more like the bold and brave organizers, advocates, and volunteers with Faith in Minnesota.
The Second Congressional District Convention is right around the corner. Faith in Minnesota, let’s win this– together 🤝
Obviously the topline $10k-$20k forgiveness is going to get the headlines, but this income-based repayment plan rule will have a big impact for low and middle-income borrowers (especially straight out of college)
It is truly difficult to express, with the language we have at our disposal, how abhorrent the existence of the death penalty is. Firing squad. Electric chair. Lethal injection. It’s all disgraceful.
The Rochester area deserves great representation and Sara is that person. She cares deeply about the community and engaging on the issues. I was on many meetings last year with Rochester groups and Sara would always be there too. She shows up.
Please join me in donating!
