EMILYs List Endorses Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota Governor’s Race

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar for Minnesota governor. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“Minnesota’s next governor needs to be able to stand up to chaos and fight for the people of the North Star State, and Senator Amy Klobuchar has proven she can do exactly that. We know she will stand her ground to protect Minnesotans while finding common ground to expand the economy, make life more affordable, and deliver results for every community in the state. Amy Klobuchar knows how to get things done. She’s one of the most effective, sharpest, and experienced legislators in the nation and will be an incredible governor for all Minnesotans. And she has no fear when it comes to standing up to the Trump administration or anybody else who tries to go after her state. Without question, EMILYs List is proud to support Senator Klobuchar for governor of Minnesota.”

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is the first woman elected to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate and a lifelong champion for the people of her state. She has built a national reputation as one of Congress’ most effective and bipartisan lawmakers. In the 117th Congress, she ranked first in the Senate for introducing bipartisan legislation and among the top lawmakers for passing bills into law. Throughout her career, she has fought tirelessly for Minnesotans — saving taxpayers billions of dollars in prescription drug costs, securing federal funding for job-creating infrastructure projects, supporting Minnesota’s farmers and small businesses hit by the Trump administration’s tariffs, and leading the charge to tackle affordability on health care and child care and housing. Even in the past year, during a deeply divided Congress, she passed multiple bills into law, including measures to protect women and kids online. She has always led with integrity, steadiness, and results gaining her deep trust from Minnesotans who know she puts them first. Now she’s ready to continue delivering for Minnesota families as governor.
