Expand all | Collapse all

Allie Wolf was born in Luverne, Minnesota, but has spent most of her life in Spring Valley, Minnesota, since her family first moved there when she was five years old. She attended Winona State University after graduating high school, but put her academic career on hold in 2011 when she joined the US Marine Corps, where she was trained as a Cryptolinguist at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, where she specialized in Afghan Pashto. After her enlistment, she returned to her roots in Spring Valley where she currently lives with her husband and their two children. She has since earned an Administrative Assistant AS, an Computer Science BS, all while working jobs in retail and waiting tables and raising two children (and homeschooling them through the pandemic). Now she intends to use her life experience and knowledge to make sure the working class families of Southeast Minnesota thrive, by building strong, resilient communities that can withstand whatever the future brings.
  • I am a working class Millennial who knows what it's like to raise a family in the 21st century. Minnesota has one of the highest costs of child care in the nation; the cost for a family to put two kids in child care is double that of the average cost of rent. It's time to take legislative action to help alleviate the biggest financial burden on families today.
  • Southeast Minnesota's karst geology makes it uniquely vulnerable to dangerous nitrates and forever chemicals. Working together with farmers and giving them the resources they need to implement, or continue, regenerative agricultural practices while increasing profitability is an important step in making sure our children and grandchildren have safe, clean drinking water for generations to come.
  • Across the country, state governments are stripping away people's bodily autonomy. Whether it's a woman's right to have a DNC after a miscarriage, to seek infertility treatments, or even to use hormonal birth control, attacks on reproductive rights put people's health at risk. Attacks on the LGBTQ+ community have also grown, as states try to legislate how parents choose to support their gender-nonconforming children, banning them from receiving safe, medically necessary treatment, or even banning them from social transitioning. As a legislator, I will defend a person's autonomy when it comes to their medical decisions and will work to finally pass Minnesota's Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) ballot initiative.
Public education is a cornerstone of American ideals, meant to guarantee that all children, no matter what their circumstances, have an equal opportunity to succeed and prosper. However, extremists are across the country continue their attacks on public education with the intent to defund it entirely with policies supporting voucher programs, which funnels tax-payer money away from public schools and towards exclusionary private schools. I am committed to strong investment in our students and public school staff and faculty by making sure Minnesota has the most enviable public education program in the country.
For me, the role of an elected official is one of public service. Everyone's job in a community is essential. From the teacher educating our kids, to the police officer making sure people aren't speeding through school zones, to the worker stocking shelves at the grocery store, to the parent at home with their newborn. The job of an elected official is to make sure all of these people have what they need to do their job to the best of their ability.
I hope that my children take risks and travel and expand their horizons. But when they decide to rest and settle down, I want to make sure Southeast Minnesota is a place that they can return to; that its beautiful bluffs and streams have been protected and cherished, and that it's a place full of economic opportunity that will allow them to provide for their own future families.
I hear so many stories from folks in the district. I hear about 70-year-olds still working laborious jobs because their spouse is sick and Medicare doesn't cover the cost of prescriptions, even as they themselves get sicker. I hear about in-home daycares closing their doors because they cannot afford to stay open, and families who have to put off having a child because the waitlists for an infant child care spot are two years long. I hear about parents who are scared for their trans child because some politicians want to deny their very existence. And I've heard countless stories from women who were pregnant before Roe v. Wade was passed and who were denied care for their miscarriages and nearly died, and are now worried that their granddaughters will face the same dangers.

It's stories like these that have spurred my decision to run for office so that we can right these injustices and create a brighter future for all Minnesotans.
