Five Progressives for the Minnesota Legislature
From protecting workers’ rights and defending reproductive freedom to expanding affordable housing and taking on corporate power, Minnesota has shown what’s possible when bold progressives are elected to office.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse four outstanding candidates for the Minnesota Legislature:
-
- Jen McEwen for State Senate (SD-8)
- John Marty for State Senate (SD-40)
- Omar Fateh for State Senate (SD-62)
- Robyn Gulley for State Senate (SD-65)
- David Gottfried for State House (HD-40B)
These leaders are fighting for working people—not wealthy special interests—and are building a Minnesota where everyone can thrive.
Jen McEwen for State Senate (SD-8)
Attorney and current State Senator Jen McEwen has become one of Minnesota’s leading progressive champions since first winning her Duluth-area seat in 2022. As Chair of the Senate Labor Committee, she led landmark legislation expanding workers’ rights, including earned sick and safe time, stronger protections for unions, banning captive audience meetings, and strengthening workplace safety laws.
Jen also authored the landmark Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, which codified abortion rights into Minnesota law after the fall of Roe v. Wade. She continues to champion universal health care, affordable housing, environmental protection, taxing the wealthiest Minnesotans to invest in public goods, and protecting Minnesota’s water from dangerous mining projects.
John Marty for State Senate (SD-40)
A nationally recognized leader on government ethics and one of Minnesota’s longest-serving progressive champions, State Senator John Marty has spent decades taking on special interests and fighting for working people.
John is the author of the Minnesota Health Plan to guarantee comprehensive health care for all, has led efforts to strengthen campaign finance and ethics laws, and has been a steadfast advocate for climate action, reproductive freedom, economic justice, and protecting the rights of immigrants and LGBTQ+ communities. Powered by small donors—not PACs or special interests—John continues to fight for a government that puts people before corporate power.
Omar Fateh for State Senate (SD-62)
The son of Somali immigrants and the first Somali American elected to the Minnesota Senate, Omar Fateh has become one of the Legislature’s boldest progressive voices. Since taking office, he has helped deliver major victories for working families, including tuition-free college through the North Star Promise program, universal school meals, earned sick and safe time, one of the nation’s strongest minimum wage standards for Uber and Lyft drivers, and Minnesota’s 100% Clean Energy by 2040 law.
Omar continues to fight for immigrant communities, affordable housing, economic justice, and a government that puts people before corporate interests.
Robyn Gulley for State Senate (SD-65)
A longtime community advocate, public policy leader, and former nonprofit executive, Robyn Gulley is running a proudly progressive campaign rooted in the belief that “everybody in, nobody out.” Endorsed by the DFL and organized labor, Robyn is campaigning as a pro-worker, pro-choice, pro-immigrant, and pro-environment champion committed to strengthening public schools, protecting fundamental rights, and ensuring government delivers for everyday Minnesotans.
Her vision is centered on bringing people together, building stronger communities, and creating an economy that works for everyone—not just those at the top.
David Gottfried for State House (HD-40B)
David Gottfried is a State Representative dedicated to strengthening Minnesota’s public institutions. Serving on the Agriculture, Education, and Environment committees, David is focused on supporting public schools, protecting Minnesota’s natural resources, strengthening local agriculture, and ensuring government delivers real results for working families.
His campaign reflects a deep commitment to investing in education, protecting the environment, and building stronger communities across Minnesota.
Building Progressive Power in Minnesota
At Our Revolution, we know that lasting change comes from electing leaders who are willing to challenge the status quo and fight unapologetically for working people.
Jen McEwen, John Marty, Omar Fateh, Robyn Gulley, and David Gottfried are building a future rooted in workers’ rights, reproductive freedom, affordable health care, public education, environmental justice, clean energy, and a democracy that works for everyone.
We’re proud to endorse these five progressive champions for the Minnesota House and Senate because they understand that real progress comes when people—not corporations or wealthy special interests—have the power.
When we organize, we win.
