Saint Paul, Minn. (January 7, 2025) – Today, Women Winning, Minnesota’s largest women’s political organization, announced the endorsement of Monica Meyer for the Minnesota Senate Special Election in Senate District 60.
“For years, Monica has been one of the most steadfast and recognizable champions of Reproductive Freedom in Minnesota. Her work enshrining abortion and LGBTQIA+ rights into state law has helped make Minnesota more just and welcoming to all people, and we know that her experience, drive, and passion will greatly benefit all Minnesotans in the State Senate,” said Nevada Littlewolf, Women Winning Executive Director. “It is an honor to endorse her as our champion for Reproductive Freedom and to carry on the important legacy of the late Senator Dziedzic in Saint Paul.”
Monica Meyer is a lifelong Minnesotan and for the last decade, she and her partner have been planting roots in Northeast Minneapolis where they are proud to be raising their daughter. Throughout her career, Monica has championed the collective needs of Minnesotans. From her work as a key leader on the campaign for marriage equality in Minnesota to passing nation-leading anti-bullying legislation to protect young people, and enshrining the strongest reproductive freedom protections in the country into law, Monica has long been on the forefront of historic change making. Monica is a leader who will not only fight alongside her community to advance our vision for the future, but also fiercely protect the gains Minnesota has made.
Women Winning has been working for more than 40 years to elect pro-choice women to all levels of public office, from park board to President of the United States. In that time, Women Winning has raised and contributed millions of dollars to campaigns, endorsed thousands of candidates, and has more than tripled the number of pro-choice women elected officials in Minnesota. The organization’s targeted endorsement program centers on competitive districts for pro-choice candidates with the goal of electing a truly representative government and creating a more equitable Minnesota.
Women Winning will make additional endorsements in 2025 and will continue organizing to ensure reproductive rights are protected by electing pro-choice women up and down the ballot.
