Thank you for your time and your passion. Thank you for your belief in Erin Maye-Quade and me, and in the power of all of us together. Thank you for your vote, your donation, your kind and inspiring words on social media, your hours on the phones and doors. Thank you for your commitment to our future. Thank you for your sweat and tears, your anger and hope, your urgency and angst, and your joy. Together, we started down a path. It isn't done yet. Not by a long shot.
Today, I stood at a press conference with Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan to join with them in the fight ahead.
I will continue to ask them to see the power of what we built and continue to push them on the issues and values we don't align on. But I will also give them my support, my vote, and my time. Our bright future now relies on them and the strong voices of Minnesotans. They need to defend the progress we have made, and move things forward, and I know they will.
With your powerful voices, we built a campaign that centered Minnesotans, dug into the toughest issues ahead of us, and advocated for progressive policies that build an inclusive and bright future for every Minnesotan. I hope you all will find your way, big or small, to bring your powerful voice to the Walz/Flanagan team and the fight ahead.
We started this campaign ready to build a bright future for all Minnesotans, to tackle the hard problems, to center Minnesotans and their voices in our politics and democracy, and to work together for progressive policies and an inclusive state, driven by a powerful coalition that represents our state. We did that with you, and our future depends on you to continue to fight. We have work to do, in this election, next year at the Capitol, and beyond. I'm counting on you to join me in continuing that work.
Thank you again for everything you have given. I will see you soon.
Erin
