The Spin

Democrats have made winning choices. Flanagan and Klobuchar have shown up for working people, from picket lines to nursing homes to rideshare lots. Union workers across Minnesota trust them to fight for fair wages, affordable health care and accountability for bosses who exploit workers. These candidates earned support the hard way, by listening and standing with everyday Minnesotans.

Tafoya and DeMuthDemuth will also restore accountability where establishment hacks like Klobuchar and Flanagan have let things slide. Minnesota deserves outsiders willing to fix what career politicians broke.
