My dad spent nearly 30 years teaching in our public schools. The benefits he and his union fought for provided for our family. That's why I'm so proud to be endorsed by @educationmn.bsky.social. I'll keep fighting alongside educators for the pay, benefits and working conditions they deserve.

Nurses put patients over profits every single day. I’m proud to have earned the endorsement of the Minnesota Nurses Association and their 22,000 members. We believe healthcare is a human right. Together, we’ll fight for single-payer healthcare in Minnesota.
Team Clare had a blast knocking for Team Susan today 💙
Crime victim services are a lifeline for survivors across Minnesota. This session, I worked hard to secure $12 million to prevent shelter closures and keep advocate positions filled. This funding buys us some time, but our work isn't done. Read the article to learn more ⬇️
New Minnesota laws tackle domestic violence response and prevention
New laws include expanding the window for warrantless arrests and adding more safeguards to keep guns out of offenders’ hands.

No-knock warrants are down nearly 80% statewide thanks to the near-total ban I authored and passed in 2023. Courts can only authorize no-knock entries under extreme, life-threatening circumstances and two full years of data from the BCA show it’s working. This law is saving lives.
I’m proud to have the endorsement of @mnaflcio.org. Coming from a union home, I know Minnesota is stronger because of our working people. I will always fight alongside the 1,000+ unions and 300,000+ workers who keep our state running.
I’m so proud to earn the endorsement of AFSCME Council 5 and the over 43,000 workers they represent in our schools, cities, counties and state government.

I’m proud to be officially endorsed by @ppminnesota.bsky.social! 🩷 As a new mom, the attack on our reproductive rights is personal. We all deserve the right to have children, not have children, & parent the kids we have in safe, sustainable communities.
