At TakeAction Minnesota, we believe in a politics that is by and for the people – where we care for each other, protect our climate, put community at the center of public safety, and support bold leaders who show the political courage and moral clarity we need to create the future we deserve.
In Hennepin County, our primary elections give us a choice: we can elect status-quo politicians, or we can vote for bold, progressive leaders with the political courage this moment calls for. TakeAction Minnesota’s member-led political committee has endorsed two progressive champions running in competitive primaries in our district.
Vote Mary Moriarty for Hennepin County Attorney
Mary Moriarty is a public defender and distinguished leader dedicated to changing the broken criminal legal system and creating a more just world. Moriarty served as the County’s Chief Public Defender for six years and led one of the most effective public law offices in the country. She’s the DFL-endorsed candidate for Hennepin County Attorney, and faces a crowded primary field. Vote for Mary in the primary election by August 9.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has enormous power to shape our county’s criminal legal system, support survivors, address police violence, and reduce mass incarceration and policies that unjustly target people who are poor, Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color, and people with marginalized gender and sexual identities.
Mary Moriarty shares our vision for a criminal legal system that is fair, addresses systemic injustices, and truly brings justice for all. TakeAction is proud to endorse Moriarty for this incredibly important position.
Endorsements include: TakeAction Minnesota, Victory Fund, Stonewall DFL, OutFront Minnesota, Unidos MN, Moms Demand Action, People Over Prosecution, Real Justice, Survivor’s Lead, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and community leaders across Hennepin County.
Send Ilhan Back to Congress!
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is a bold and effective leader on the most pressing issues of our time from climate action to Medicare for All and the Homes for All Act. In the last term, she consistently organized for working families and a livable climate in Build Back Better negotiations as others wavered.
While families in our district struggle with the cost of childcare, housing, health care, and the public health crises of COVID-19 and systemic racism, Congresswoman Omar does not accept the broken status quo.
After the police murder of George Floyd, Congresswoman Omar boldly supported a new Department of Public Safety on the Minneapolis ballot. While her opponent aligned with corporate interests to uphold the Minneapolis Police Department–which is coming under a consent decree for its patterns and practices of race discrimination—Congresswoman Omar pushed for a new path forward.
This election season we have a choice between the political courage of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar or a political opportunist. While our democracy and basic rights like abortion care are under attack, we need bold and effective progressive leadership in Minnesota’s 5th district and across the nation. TakeAction Minnesota is proud to endorse Congresswoman Omar and ready to send her back to Congress.
Endorsements include: TakeAction Minnesota, United We Dream, Education Minnesota, American Federation of Teachers, Sierra Club, SEIU, OutFront Minnesota, MN350 Action, Stonewall DFL, Justice Democrats, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Senator Bernie Sanders & many more organizations and public leaders.
Get ready to make your voice heard and be a voter. Make your plan to vote for Mary Moriarty for Hennepin County Attorney and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar by November 8.
