Jason Ruffalo (D)

Women should have full control over their bodies. Period.
Jason Ruffalo (D)
I will fight to ensure affordable healthcare to all Minnesotan to help those struggling with illness, and open opportunities for small business to expand instead of pouring money into a broken healthcare and insurance system.
What a woman does with her body is, strictly speaking, nobody's business but her own.
