Corporate & Business Accountability to the Public We support fair competition and a halt to further corporate consolidation and monopoly control of the media, tech industry, farm and food system, medical system, agricultural implements, and all sectors of our economy through strong enforcement of federal and state antitrust laws, and by passing the Fair Competition Act to strengthen Minnesota's price discrimination laws.

I am a tenacious Democrat who has worked in the background supporting candidates who share my values. Now, I am the candidate. I want the opportunity to represent my district and make a difference for Minnesotans. cindyahofor13A@gmail.com Donate Website

I entered local politics in 2013 as a Bemidji City Council member. I finished my second term as a Beltrami County Commissioner at the end of 2022. For over fifteen years, I have been a small business owner in rural Minnesota.
