Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Susie Strom (D)

Service to my community and nation is at the core of who I am.

I have years of experience successfully collaborating with people from different backgrounds to accomplish the mission.

As a mom, I'm always thinking of the world I'll leave for my daughters. We need to build a better and brighter future for children and grandchildren..

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Susie Strom (D)

Education: I believe that our schools should have the resources they need to support every student. Students should feel safe and accepted in their classrooms and be able to access the tools they need to succeed, both in and outside of the classroom.

Veterans: We should provide needed services and support to those who have served, such as healthcare, reintegration services into civilian life, and homelessness and suicide prevention.

Community Safety: Every Minnesotan deserves to live in a safe community. As a former military prosecutor and special victims counsel (advocate for sexual assault survivors), I know how important it is to hold people accountable for their actions and to provide services to victims of crime. We also need to address root causes of crime.
