A Leader Who Won’t Fold To Pressure.

Dear Neighbor,

ICE is attacking our neighborhoods. Two state sponsored murders happened here in SD 62. Rightwing media is spreading misinformation about our communities. Trump is sowing division. And our children are watching what we do.

Now, more than ever, we need leaders who won’t fold.

As your State Senator for the past 5 years, I’ve taken action to pass big bills that made a real difference in the lives of working Minnesotans. Together we have passed the strongest guaranteed wage for Uber and Lyft drivers in the country, passed the Northstar Promise to give tuition-free college for working families, passed 100% Clean Energy by 2040, passed universal school meals for kids, and passed earned sick and safe time for families.

As ICE spreads their terror across Minnesota, the Southside is showing up to take care of one another and to let Trump and his federal agencies know that there’s no place for their politics of hatred. I am dedicated to using this coming legislative session to protect Minnesotans from a tyrannical federal government, and to bring us together around our shared values of mutual support and compassion for our neighbors. 

This is what the Southside is all about and that’s the leadership we deserve.

I’m Senator Omar Fateh, and I’m running for re-election to be your State Senator. It’s time to step up for the next generation and continue to show them what real leadership looks like.
