Two’s a coincidence, three’s a pattern. This many shared ideas is a statement of values.
The voters and constituents wrote our to-do list, and that’s why our platform is not just sound policy — it’s also popular. Teachers and parents, nurses and patients, workers and small business owners told us what they needed. We listened.
We still are. In Senate District 45, candidate Ann Johnson Stewart met a woman who had never missed an election in her life; her parents fled Soviet persecution, and she knows the value of freedom. Democrats do, too, and continue to take steps to strengthen our inclusive democracy.
Republican candidates do the opposite, projecting fear, doubt and division. We’ve met a lot of voters who are switching parties this year out of a sense of duty to their democracy.
Republican leaders will tell you we need to restore “balance” in Minnesota. They’re hoping you forgot. Under their recent leadership, the GOP was the party of “no,” with little interest in real solutions. They existed to obstruct the process and oppose Gov. Tim Walz. As several GOP members positioned themselves to run for governor themselves, they left good ideas — theirs and ours — on the table.
That’s not balance, it’s chaos, and it left behind the families scrapping to make ends meet. In 2022, Minnesota voters grew tired of gridlock and elected the DFL to make improvements in our communities, households and workplaces.
