Something to keep in mind as you vote in the primary: Current Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek is an enabler of 45's nativist immigration policies. Stanek must be replaced . A DFL-endorsed candidate for Hennepin County Sheriff, Dave Hutchinson offers an opportunity to rein in ICE at the local level, increase communication between the Sheriff's office and the community, and to update obsolete approaches to policing. WHO IS DAVE HUTCHINSON? Dave “Hutch” Hutchinson is a 15-year law enforcement and public safety professional. He's served with the Metro Transit Police Department since 2006.

TAKE ACTION: REAUTHORIZE THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM

The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) ensures nearly 9 million children have health insurance. CHIP is a federal-state partnership where the federal government provides most—or in some cases, all—of the funding necessary to cover uninsured children. No one thought Congress would let CHIP funding expire on September 30, but that’s exactly what they did. And Republicans still have not found the time to reauthorize CHIP. Here's more info on the issue. WHAT TO DO: SENATE ACTION: WHAT TO DO: Call your U.S. Senator.

UPVOTE: DEAN PHILLIPS FOR U.S. HOUSE, MN CD3

Image
Dean Phillips is a DFL-endorsed Democrat running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District , aiming to repeal and replace Republican Trump enabler Erik Paulsen. WHAT DEAN STANDS FOR Given incumbent Erik Paulsen 's atrocious record of supporting 45's agenda , getting rid of him might seem its own reward. But Dean Phillips offers not just an alternative, but a lot of great ideas . He supports the expansion of Medicare as a public option for all Americans, and has a lot to say about  climate change prevention, campaign finance reform, and gun violence prevention. On the gun control front he supports reinstating the assault weapons ban, funding CDC research into gun violence, and commonsense measures to keep guns away from domestic abusers, violent criminals and suspected terrorists (including so-called ‘no fly no buy’ proposals). HOW YOU CAN HELP -- Volunteer for Dean by knocking on doors and phone banking. -- Make a don...
