Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
With the selection of MN Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota is now considered a solid BLUE state! It has traditionally voted Democratic in Presidential elections, and although the gap narrowed in recent months, it is now unlikely that Trump could win Minnesota in 2024. It is therefore considered safe to vote for a third party candidate in Minnesota without the risk of Trump winning this state!

Senate Race
Incumbent Democrat Senator Tina Smith is defending her seat against Republican challenger Jason Lewis. Smith is likely to be re-elected, but we can’t afford to take any chances when it comes to putting an end to Mitch McConnell’s stranglehold on the US Senate.
A vote for Tina Smith is a vote to survive in 2020!
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2020 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to get rid of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
