“Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan knows firsthand what’s at stake for working families and is living proof of what’s possible when we invest in people and give every family a fair shot. At a time when Donald Trump and Republicans are rigging the system for billionaires and powerful interests, Minnesota needs a leader who will fight for more, not settle for less. Peggy has never backed down from a tough fight, and she has the courage, experience, and record to take on powerful interests and deliver for working people. EMILYs List is proud to endorse Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate and stand with her to hold this critical seat and fight for a future that works for all Minnesotans.”

Peggy has been a steadfast champion for reproductive freedom and is leading the fight to ensure abortion remains legal in Minnesota. Peggy is running for Minnesota’s U.S. Senate seat to fight back against Trump’s harmful agenda and ensure every Minnesotan has the support and opportunity to build a secure future.
