Saint Paul, Minn. (May 30, 2025) – Today, Women Winning, Minnesota’s largest women’s political organization, announced the fourth slate of pro-choice champions running for local office in 2025.
“Local offices are often at the frontlines of the fight for reproductive freedom, and the leaders we elect at every level of government play a critical role in protecting access to abortion care and defending our fundamental right to bodily autonomy,” said Britta Moen, Women Winning Political Director. “As coordinated, nationwide efforts work to roll back reproductive rights and restrict access to care, Minnesotans can be confident knowing that these bold champions for freedom are standing up for their values in communities across the state. We are incredibly proud to endorse these fierce leaders who have shown time and time again that they prioritize the health and safety of their constituents at every opportunity.”
