This is Endorsement #15 — Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate (Minnesota).
I’m endorsing Flanagan because her priorities are straightforward — and she’s running a campaign that isn’t taking a dime of corporate PAC money.
She’s also endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
What she’s running on (from her priorities page)
- End corruption. Reverse Citizens United, tighten ethics, and get corporate/dark money out.
- Affordable healthcare. Medicare for All, less insurance-company red tape, lower drug costs.

- Protect rights + democracy. John Lewis Voting Rights Act, Equality Act, Women’s Health Protection Act.
