Jen Peterson was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 54A of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Peterson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Economic opportunities for all

  • Excerpt: "I support a living wage, earned sick time and paid family leave."

Transportation is crucial to a thriving economy

  • Excerpt: "We need to be planning for the future of Minnesota and our transportation system. We are currently behind where we need to be to remain competitive in commerce, manufacturing, tourism, and daily life."

Education must be a priority

  • Excerpt: "A strong and competitive workforce starts with a great education where every student has the best chance of graduating from high school."

We need to protect our natural environment

  • Excerpt: "I suggested and pushed hard for development of an environmental commission, and it did happen. This came about because I heard from people when I was out doorknocking in 08 that they were very concerned about the water issues that were very big at the time. We have so much beautiful natural environment to protect in the district along the river and bluffs. I will work hard to protect our environment for generations."
