If I lived in #Minnesota, I'd be voting for #PeggyFlanagan -- you know, the person who *almost* became the governor of Minnesota if Harris/Walz had been elected. Flanagan is also famously known for wearing a #ProtectTransKids t-shirt (I'll repost that), and is strongly #NoDAPL. Those are values that are VERY important to me...
In Minnesota, an open Senate seat draws high-profile Democrats

"2026 elections to watch: The state's lieutenant governor and a member of Congress are both hoping to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith.
"The leading candidates in the Democratic primary to succeed her are Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig, the ranking member of the influential House Committee on Agriculture. Flanagan, a citizen of the #WhiteEarthNation, would be the fifth #NativeAmerican person and first Native American woman elected to the U.S. Senate. Craig would be the first out LGBTQ+ person elected to the Senate from Minnesota."
