A year ago today, I was elected to represent #MN05. I ran to help build a movement that reflects working people -- not corporations or the wealthy few.
We didn’t just win the election -- we got 78% of the vote without accepting a cent of corporate money. We connected with our neighbors about what unites us. We came together to fight for the soul of our democracy and the future of our planet.
I say “we” because this campaign isn’t about me. It’s about the people-powered movement we’ve created together. It all comes down to our shared belief that healthcare, education, housing, a fair living wage, and clean air and water aren’t privileges, but human rights.
Every day, our movement inspires me to fight tirelessly for progressive reforms. I haven’t let up in my work to pass #MedicareForAll, enact a #GreenNewDeal, cancel all student debt, and finally repeal the Muslim ban.
Thanks for being part of this movement. This squad. You’re giving truth and equality a powerful platform. #TheSquadIsBig
