"DFL Senate District 31 represents a unique blend of rural and suburban communities. We are everyday citizens of this district who are motivated by Minnesota community values and principles. We work to bring about change, to make our communities better places to live for our kids, our neighbors, and ourselves."
It is difficult to think or talk about the election events of this past week. At this point we all need to draw together and support one another as we watch to see what unfolds.
Despite the difficult outcomes, many thanks to our local candidates, Gadisa Berkessa, Dara Grimmer, and Betsy O'Berry for all of their efforts, and those of their devoted teams! And Congratulations to Mike Gamache for earning re-election as County Commissioner!
There were some other silver linings to be found— all of our hard work did at least help Harris and Walz over the line in the Minnesota vote total! And our friends to the south in SD35 did very well, electing Kari Rehrauer and re-electing Zach Stephenson.
But we all need a bit of a breather and time to “get our heads back together.” In this time, be sure to reach out to your friends and stay connected. Our newsletter will for the time being return to a monthly publication. And for the immediate future, it will just be a little shorter.
If you have items you wish to share, send them on to us at: info@VoteBlueMN.org
In the meantime, have a good and restful holiday season!

We Believe in…
A GOOD ECONOMY FOR WORKING FAMILIES:
“We all do better when we all do better”.
FIGHTING HATRED AND RACISM WHEREVER WE FIND IT:
This begins with quality education that does not “whitewash” our history.
We also support our allies (At home and abroad) when they fight against fascism,
tyranny, and dictatorship.
TRUE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR ALL:
Health care that is a right for everyone – a person does not have liberty if they are
sick and cannot get the help they need.
TAKING CARE OF OUR HOME: Stewardship for the earth.
