Jason, in almost 250 years, there’s never been a Native woman serving in the US Senate. It’s time to change that. |
I’m Peggy Flanagan, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. |
I am Ojibwe and a proud member of the White Earth Nation. My family is the Wolf Clan. The mission of my clan is to never leave anyone behind — and that’s been my guiding principle. |
I am the descendant of people who were forced off their land onto the White Earth reservation. I am the relative of residential boarding school survivors. I am the daughter of a man who always spoke truth to power for the good of the Anishinaabe people. |
I’m thinking of my daughter — who just got her first jingle dress — and whether or not she will see Indigenous women in all parts of our government. |
Right now, there are no Native voices in the US Senate. If I win this race, we can change that. |
It's high time that all our communities have a seat at the table. If you agree, will you pitch in $10 or whatever you can to power my campaign and Colin Allred’s and help me make history? |

|
Too often, Native voices are ignored or erased in the halls of power. |
That’s how we get awful so-called leaders like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, who called Indigenous Peoples' Day a “fake holiday” and said that Native land was “enemy territory.” |
My Ojibwe name means 'Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice woman.' So I’m using that voice to call out MAGA extremism — loudly and clearly. |
But I can’t do it alone. I need your help to build a campaign strong enough to cut through the noise. That’s why I’m personally asking, Jason, will you pitch in a split gift to my campaign to help us make history? |
|
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Peggy Flanagan and Colin Allred will go through immediately:
|
Chi miigwech (that’s Ojibwe big thank you) for being part of this hopeful movement. |
Peggy |
