MN House: Bill Vikander in 35A

From his website:

I promise to speak up for every citizen in our district and in our state, no matter who they are, where they're from, or where they're going.  We must close the gender wage gap.  We must have an honest conversation about race and how racism still impacts each and every Minnesotan and American.  We must remember our history and embrace immigrants once again--not turn them away out of fear or politics.  We must support a woman's right to make her own reproductive health care decisions.  We must act with urgency, clarity, and purpose to meet the challenge of climate change and preserve Minnesota's natural resources for generations to come.

These are not "progressive" or "conservative" values.  They are human values, born of basic kindness and decency.  They are Minnesota values.  

This is the seat vacated by Abigail Whelan, who left the legislature to walk Christ’s path in other ways. Nothing wrong with that, if you ask me, as long as those who “walk Christ’s path” don’t try to force their own interpretation of that onto the rest of us. Which Whelan certainly did. And the GOP candidate here, John Heinrich, is casting himself as Whelan's worthy successor.

Tough district? Absolutely. But whenever someone talks to me about tough districts, this cycle, I use a five-word rejoinder (actually, four words and a letter): “Sen. Doug Jones (D-Alabama).”
