We deserve a Senator who puts Minnesotans first. Someone who sticks up for everybody. Someone who will work every day to build a country where people can afford to live the lives they want to live.

That’s why I’m endorsing Peggy Flanagan to be our next United States Senator.

[Jen Schultz @RepJenSchultz]

I’m supporting Amy for Governor. We’ll be working to turn out voters in CD8. Please join us.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor.

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

The DFL endorsement is valuable - and it matters. Because I'm running a people-powered campaign, endorsed by and for Minnesotans.

So on February 3rd, attend precinct caucuses and raise your hand to become a delegate for Team Peggy.

@EricWal95107660 It’s not a Politico article. It’s the list of proposed cuts from the Republican budget committee. Read it.

@1223Bolstad Why would Republican state legislators pen a letter to asking Congressional Republicans to not cut Medicaid? https://t.co/cIJgP1H4M8

Congrats @kenmartin73! @MinnesotaDFL

We were so fortunate to have Mary Murphy in our lives. It is a devastating loss for our community. As a teacher for 30 years and legislator for 46, she touched more lives than most people. She was the sage in politics, the Godmother of northern Minnesota. If you were considering running for office, you first consulted with Mary.
I did not have the pleasure of having Mary as a teacher, but I served with her in the Minnesota Legislature, and she taught us many things. When Mary stood up in the House chamber to speak, everyone would put their phones down, peer up and listen, really listen to every word she spoke. She used her powerful voice to teach us of historical facts, to remind us to have empathy for others, and the importance of supporting education. She was passionate about our public libraries. Her support for our community is evident in the infrastructure that surrounds us—any project that received state funding in northern Minnesota, you can be assured that Mary was an advocate. As a strong, fiercely independent woman she also created a path for more strong women to follow. She was a champion for teachers, schools, labor and working families. She advocated for our state Legacy Fund for conservation, outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails and precious to her, the arts and cultural heritage that helped fund her cherished public libraries. Please continue her legacy by advocating for the things she valued.
Here is a video of Mary giving the prayer in the MN House chamber, reading from Old Turtle....https://t.co/REUs4nUeN6

My motto as your next DNC Chair? Build to win, build to expand, build to last.

[Jen Schultz @RepJenSchultz]

I’m not running again for #MN08 but want to help by bringing people together. We need to strengthen the organized groups throughout greater MN & empower people to engage. This work will be important for all future candidates.

[Jen Schultz @RepJenSchultz]

Our team devoted a ton of energy, our time and our hearts into this election. Our supporters and volunteers were the foundation of a people-powered campaign. We were grateful to have the endorsements from our labor allies, the DFL party, and Forum Communication. But more importantly, we were proud to have the support of so many who live and work here. Thank you.

I want to thank my team for supporting me over two election cycles, for believing in me, and for having hope. I knew the challenges of being a candidate in a tough district. I ran for Congress to hold our current congressman accountable for not showing up, for his voting record and his alliances with corporate interests. I wanted to remind folks that who you elect matters. I’m glad folks had a choice on the ballot.

We have so many super volunteers who door knocked, called voters, planted yard signs, wrote post cards, marched in parades, submitted letters to the editor, hosted events, attended events, waved signs, and funded our campaign. Thank you! We couldn’t have done this without you.

Please join me in thanking my core team:

Eileen Zeitz Hudelson (2014-2021 Campaign Manager, 2022-24 Communications)
Ash Northey (2022 Campaign Manager)
Susy Bates (2024 Campaign Manager)
Adrienne Dinneen (2022-24 Outreach Director, Coordinator, Daily Staffer, Field Organizer)
Alyssa Helgason (2022-24 Finance Director, Social Media, Communications)
Chris Kluthe (2022-2024 Compliance Director)
Kim Slipy (Lead Field Organizer)

Dear Supporters,
While the election results are not what we wanted, I couldn’t be prouder of the campaign we built together. We fought for the issues that matter most to the people of northern Minnesota. Our campaign reflected my commitment to the people over outside interests. Though we came up short, our fight was never in vain, and I will always be grateful for the belief people placed in me.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who gave their time, their energy, and their resources to this campaign. This movement doesn’t end tonight. We’ve built something important, and the relationships we forged and the conversations we had will continue to shape the future of northern Minnesota. The fight for our values will continue.
Now more than ever it is time to unite our communities, organize, and work together as a team to build the future we want. Please stay engaged and contribute to strengthening our democracy. #MN08

[Jen Schultz @RepJenSchultz]

Polls open until 8pm. A little rain didn’t stop us from waving signs for @RadosevichPete in Cloquet so don’t let it stop you from voting!
