Susan Allen for Minnesota House District 61B

SD 62 Convention at South High School 9:00 a.m. Saturday, March 31, 2012

Admin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:05:39 +0000

Our campaign to win back the DFL majority in November is well underway. Thank you to all who participated in the precinct caucuses and welcome to all new delegates/alternates. I look forward to speaking and meeting with you and other members of the DFL Party throughout our new District 62B.

As a strong progressive team of candidates, Senator Jeff Hayden, Representative Karen Clark and I will seek the DFL endorsement at the SD 62 Convention on Saturday, March 31. We are passionate advocates for economic and social justice and we will fight the concentrated assault on our LGBT community and families; fight to hold banks accountable and support homeowners; and fight to make Minnesota’s wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share. We will continue to voice strong opposition to legislation that infringes on our civil liberties or writes discrimination into our constitution.

In this tough economic time, there is opportunity to rise to the challenge and move in a positive direction. Instead of focusing on job growth, Republican legislators have worked to enact a radical right-wing agenda that threatens to set us back for decades. We will continue to work hard to promote economic development and job growth opportunities; a fair and responsible budget; strong schools that support our kids and teachers; and access to affordable, quality healthcare.

So I ask for your support at the SD 62 convention on Saturday morning, March 31. Together we can win back the majority in November and keep Minnesota moving forward.

Thank you voters for your strong show of support in this Special Election! Thank you to the many, many volunteers for your hard work and commitment. I could not have done this without you. And thanks to Nate Blumenshine for running a respectful, issue focused campaign that brought the people of our district together, rather than divide us.

I am excited to get to work on your behalf and on behalf of the entire district at the State Capitol. My early priorities will be to bring jobs and job training to our district, work on a fair tax system for Minnesota and fight the discriminatory constitutional marriage amendment. I look forward to getting to know you better, hearing about your priorities and about how I can best represent you.

The regular 2012 election cycle is right around the corner. The results of this year’s elections will be critical to advancing the issues most important to the people of our district. I look forward to working shoulder to shoulder with you!

Yours,
Susan Allen

This Saturday, November 12th, at the HD 61B’s special endorsing convention, Susan was honored to receive the DFL’s endorsement! Getting to know the delegates in this district better has been incredibly informational and valuable. Susan looks forward to working with 61B’s activists to win the primary and general elections, and to bring our voices to the capitol.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the endorsing process. We will be in touch soon about how you can get further involved with Susan’s campaign!

I am running for the Minnesota House seat in District 61B, because I firmly believe that all members of our community have a stake in the success of our neighborhoods.

As a strong progressive champion, I will continue to fight for the economic, social, and environmental issues that matter to our district. Access to affordable healthcare, attracting well paying jobs and business development to our region, protecting the land, air, and groundwater for current and future generations, and creating a fair state and local tax structure that meets the needs and expectations of our communities are issues I will prioritize.

Powderhorn Park neighborhood in District 61B has been my home for 14 of my 48 years. I raised my son here and it’s here that I’m watching my three grandchildren grow. I grew up in poverty with many challenges, made it through law school with the support of my family and became a lawyer so that I could fight for economic and social justice for those who most need an advocate. I know what it’s like to feel left out of the process.

I reflect the great diversity of our district, as a Native American woman and a member of the LGBT community, and hope to bring this important voice to the state capital to offer more balanced, representative contributions and input.
