“One of the first things I did after deciding to suspend our campaign for Congress in 2026 was meet with Trina Swanson. I had heard her speak several times on the campaign trail, and meeting her confirmed what I already knew. She is qualified, experienced, grounded, and ready to do the work for the people across northern and central Minnesota.

I’m proud to endorse Trina because she will fight for us and hold the Trump administration accountable,  two things Pete Stauber has failed to do.

If you’re a delegate to the 8th Congressional District DFL convention this weekend, I hope you’ll join me. Let’s come together, unite behind Trina, and send a clear message that we’re ready to win in November. And I hope you’ll join me in contributing to the campaign so Trina has the resources to take this all the way to victory.”
