is the DFL Rural Caucus endorsed candidate running for in Back Martha Brown State House District 19A Faribault, MN Martha Brown was born in Erie, PA and raised in a working-class family where hard work meant survival and dignity. Her father worked five jobs while building a funeral business from the ground up. Her grandfather was a Pennsylvania coal miner who lost his job after attempting to unionize his fellow miners. Another grandfather farmed and worked for the telephone company to support his family. From them, Martha learned that strong communities are built by working people — and that when those workers are ignored, families suffer. Martha Brown is running to strengthen the middle class, expand opportunity, support farmers and union workers, and restore hope in rural Minnesota. endorsemartha19a@gmail.com Donate Website

is the DFL Rural Caucus endorsed candidate running for in Back Brian Walker State House District 31A Ramsey, MN Brian Walker grew up on a farm in Kansas and brought those roots with him to Ramsey, where he raises horses and has built a life in House District 31A. He's served his community on the Ramsey Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission. After January 6th, Brian left the Republican Party. He didn't leave his values: hard work, a strong and fair economy, good schools for every kid. Through long conversations with his wife, he came to see that the party had abandoned those values, and him. He found that the things he'd always believed in had a home in the DFL all along. He's proud to be a democrat today, and hopes to help more recovering republicans on their journey, too. campaign@walkerforward.com Donate Website
