Democratic Underground for Peggy Flanagan US Senate Minnesota

https://peggyflanagan.com/

At just 25, Peggy became the youngest member of the Minneapolis School Board, where she fought to make sure kids of all backgrounds could get a high-quality education. She also served as a trainer for Wellstone Action, training tens of thousands of grassroots activists to find collective power in their communities.

In 2015, Peggy was elected to the state legislature, where she led Democrats on child care issues and engaged her colleagues to form the POCI (People of Color and Indigenous) Caucus. During the 2017-18 session, when her party was in the minority, Peggy was one of only two DFLers to successfully chief author a bill that became law. Since becoming Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor in 2019, Peggy has made a difference for families. She helped pass Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program into law and make investments in education, healthcare, and housing. She’s helping support our family farms and small businesses and is leading the fight to make sure abortion stays legal in Minnesota.

Now, Peggy is running for Senate to stop Donald Trump and the billionaires ransacking our government from making it harder for families, like the one she grew up in, to have a fair shot. At a time when Washington is more rigged than ever, Peggy will be a Senator who has the guts to take on our toughest fights and win for Minnesota families.
