Read MoreThere are two things you can do now to help smooth the path for an Equal Rights Amendment in Minnesota and the US.
Read MoreThe reason so much great legislation (codified abortion rights, Paid Family Leave, universal free school meals, steeply progressive child tax credit, etc.,) got passed in MN last session was that the DFL controlled the House, the Senate and the governorship. However, the margins were slim and these seats are not guaranteed this election.
It is very important we get to work to support MN candidates in critical districts and tight races by donating to their campaigns, door knocking and phone/text banking for them.
Here are just a few great candidates to consider:
MN Senate
Ann Johnson Stewart (SD45, Minnetonka) - Stewart must win for the DFL to keep its very slim majority (34-33) in the senate.
MN House
Kari Rehrauer (35B - Coon Rapids, SE Andover)
Lucia Wroblewski (41A - Lake Elmo)
Lucy Rehm (48B - Chanhassen)
Matt Norris (32B - Blaine, Lexington)
Zack Stephenson (35A - Anoka/Coon Rapids)
Other critical races to consider include Virginia/Eveleth (7B); St Cloud (14A and 14B); N. Mankato (18A); Winona (26A); Champlin (34A); Lino Lakes (36A); Cottage Grove/Hastings (41B); Long Lake (45A); Shakopee (54A); Lakeville (57B).
