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?

Nancy McLean (D)

I will fight for an economy that works for all of us - not just corporations and special interests. I'll work for an economic plan that strengthens our state's prosperity while also providing responsible tax cuts for workers, families, and seniors and lowering the costs of goods and services.

I will prioritize the health, wellbeing, and quality of life that make Minnesota a great place to live. That means fighting for affordable and comprehensive healthcare that includes mental health and reproductive freedom, protecting our environment, and ensuring that our education system provides what every child needs to succeed.

I will work to ensure that our communities are safe places to work, live, and raise a family. I will prioritize public safety strategies that help local police recruit and retain high quality workforces while also focusing on addressing root causes of crime such as mental health and substance abuse issues and at risk youth.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Nancy McLean (D)

I am passionate about bringing healthcare reform that would make healthcare affordable for every Minnesotan. Having good health is essential to having a thriving community. Environmental protection also fits with my focus on healthcare. If we don't have clean water and air, we cannot be healthy. I am also passionate about education policy and ensuring that every child gets the education they need to be able to compete in the global economy. These areas of policy have great impact on whether our community and the state thrive and prosper.
