Hey there, it's Peggy Flanagan.
Sometimes I get asked how this little kid…
…ended up serving as Minnesota Lt. Governor, co-chairing the Democratic National Convention, and running for U.S. Senate.
Well, I grew up in a family where women just did the work. My grandmother was involved in party politics before it was, you know, polite for women to do that work.
My mom raised me by herself in St. Louis Park. We had a home because of a Section 8 housing voucher, and public programs helped her pay for my school lunch, health insurance, and child care.
I believe we should wrap our arms around our neighbors in need because my neighbors did that for me.
Minnesota is a potluck state. People can come from all walks of life, have different experiences, and yet share the same values. If it snows, we’ll shovel your driveway. If you move into the neighborhood, we’ll bring you a hotdish or bars.
Kids who grow up in Section 8 housing don’t get to run for the U.S. Senate often. But I am committed to giving back to the community that has given me everything.
I’m not going to lie and say this race is going to be easy. It’s going to take a massive effort – especially right now, with our very first FEC deadline of the campaign coming up at the end of the month.
I want to win this race so I can be the voice for Minnesota families in Washington. With your help, I know we can get there.
If you can afford it, can I ask you to make a donation to my campaign? It would mean the world to me at this critical moment before our first FEC deadline.

With gratitude!
