Ahead of No Kings Protests, Inclusive Democracy Caucus Chairs Endorse Flanagan for U.S. Senate
She has been a zealous fighter for Minnesotans with a vision of what we are fighting for
ST. LOUIS PARK, MN [6/12/25] — Today, the Chairs of the Minnesota Senate and House Inclusive Democracy Caucus, Representative Emma Greenman (63b, Minneapolis), Representative Cedrick Frazier (43a, Crystal & New Hope), and Senator Liz Boldon (25, Rochester & Parts of Olmsted County), threw their full support behind Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan’s U.S. Senate campaign. The Inclusive Democracy Caucus Chairs endorsement comes just days ahead of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump’s rule in Washington. Peggy will participate in Saint Paul’s protest.
“Our role in this moment is to protect the democratic freedoms and civil rights of all Minnesotans. The Inclusive Democracy Caucus understands this at its core,” said Peggy Flanagan. “I’m proud the co-chairs of this important group see me as a leader who can fight back, and I’m humbled to have earned their endorsement. It’s an honor to fight alongside them and all Minnesotans who have never given up on the goals and ideals of what this country can be.”
“At a moment when Donald Trump is concentrating power and trampling the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, we need more leaders in Washington D.C. with the courage to fight back and fight forward to strengthen the power of We the People. Peggy Flanagan has earned our endorsement because in the years we have worked alongside her, she has been a zealous fighter for Minnesotans with a vision of what we are fighting for – a stronger, more inclusive state and country where everyone has a voice and an opportunity to thrive. Peggy is the leader Minnesota needs in the U.S. Senate to stand up against the authoritarian overreach and to fight for the inclusive democracy that Minnesotans take pride and believe in,” said Representative Emma Greenman, Representative Cedrick Frazier, Senator Liz Boldon.
Last week, Peggy was endorsed by UFCW Local 663, former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and nearly three dozen leaders from suburban and greater Minnesota. Peggy has also secured endorsements from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, former U.S. Senator Al Franken, Attorney General Keith Ellison, State Auditor Julie Blaha, Saint Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, and dozens of state, local, and community leaders, including nearly every member of DFL House Leadership and five legislators from the Second Congressional District.
