#PeggyFlanagan wins #DFL endorsement for U.S. Senate seat
The Saturday endorsement was less dramatic without Craig, but Flanagan’s win is meaningful: She will have access to DFL Party resources and be the subject of party advertising.
Michelle Griffith, June 1, 2026 via #ICTNews
"#DemocraticFarmerLabor delegates endorsed #Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan for #USSenate on Saturday, solidifying her support among party activists going into a competitive primary election in August against U.S. Rep. Angie Craig.
"Flanagan said #Minnesotans are tired of #Democrats capitulating to #Republicans, and they deserve a fighter representing them in D.C.
" 'We can’t just be the lesser of two evils, and we will never ever win by being a pale shadow of our opponents,' Flanagan said after winning the endorsement. 'We’re building a movement that demands more from our leaders in Washington.' "

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
Grace Panetta, Political reporter
July 18, 2025"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."

#Minneapolis Might Have Just Found Their Own #Socialist Version Of #ZohranMamdani
Nicole Silverio
July 14, 2025"Democrat Minneapolis mayoral candidate #OmarFateh laid out his vision on Sunday to #FreezeRent, rapidly raise the minimum wage and refuse to cooperate with federal #immigration enforcement.
"Fateh, who is currently a Minnesota state senator, posted a video to his X account calling to 'protect' Minneapolis from a 'hostile White House,' increase the minimum wage by $20 by 2028 and prohibit the #MinneapolisPoliceDepartment (MPD) from 'interacting' with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE). The mayoral candidate, who announced his candidacy in December, has a platform that strongly resembles Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s.
" 'Protecting all of our communities from Donald Trump means not letting MPD interact with ICE, whether it’s for an immigration raid or not. Our residents deserve a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and say, ‘no, not in our community,'” Fateh said.
"Like Fateh, Mamdani threatened to potentially use his power as mayor to interfere with ICE’s operations that aim to detain and deport illegal immigrants who are convicted or charged with heinous criminal acts. President #DonaldTrump warned that Mamdani could be placed under arrest if he interferes with federal immigration enforcement during a July 1 roundtable in Florida.
"Border czar #TomHoman has also warned that any government official who obstructs federal agents’ duties could be subject to prosecution.
"Fateh claimed in his latest campaign video that 47% of calls to MPD can be
'diverted to [a] non-police response' because officers are not social workers and cannot always provide the appropriate response. He called on passing '#RentStabilization' to end so-called '#PriceGouging' and he has further introduced a plan to 'prevent rental evictions' by implementing a Just Cause eviction policy, according to his website."Fateh represents Minnesota’s 62nd senate district, which includes south Minneapolis in Hennepin County. He is a child of #SomalianImmigrants and the first Muslim to serve in the state senate, according to the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library."
