Senator Tina Smith has dedicated her career to working on behalf of Minnesotans. She previously served as chief of staff to Governor Mark Dayton, and was elected lieutenant governor in 2014. Senator Smith has represented Minnesota in the US Senate since her appointment in January 2018, and stayed in office after winning a special election by almost ten points in November of that year. She has spent her time in the Senate working across party lines to get things done on the issues that matter most to her constituents.

Senator Smith believes that it’s long past time to take action on gun violence and address the toll it has taken on communities across Minnesota and the country at large. She has made it a priority to meet with survivors of the Parkland school shooting as well as student activists in Minnesota, and continues to advocate for policies that will help keep guns out of our classrooms. Senator Smith wants to make sure that guns stay out of the hands of dangerous people, which is why she has signed onto legislation to require a background check on all gun sales. Minnesotans can count on Senator Smith to continue to advocate for policies that will keep their communities safe.

We are proud to endorse Tina Smith for the US Senate in 2020.
