Polls don't vote. News coverage doesn't vote. People do. Get out there and make your voice heard.
Last day of early voting is Monday 11/7. Last day to vote is Election Day on Tuesday 11/8.
The Minnesota Secretary of State's website has all the information you need to vote, including how to register on the day you vote, if you haven't already gotten yourself registered. Minnesota makes it so easy to vote, so please do.
The "What's On My Ballot?" tool
shows you everyone running for each office that's on your ballot where
you live and vote, and if there are candidate websites, it gives you the
link to them to learn more about them. It's amazingly helpful for
doing your homework on who to vote for (and who NOT to vote for).
I've voted for Ilhan Omar every time she's been on the ballot.
Her campaign website has a host of endorsements that include groups devoted to causes like women's reproductive choice, gun safety and LGBTQ equality.
She's a progressive who speaks her mind and continues to serve despite an unbelievable amount of threats directed at her, and concerted efforts to try and take her out in the primary stage with less progressive Democratic opponents.
I don't want to spend too much time on her Republican challenger - suffice it to say that a speech she gave last spring, touted on her campaign website, starts as follows:
"“Diversity of Thought & Cancel Culture.” It used to be that the Left and the ACLU stood for freedom of speech and expression. Those days are gone. How did we get here..."
No thank you.
