We are proud to endorse Peggy Flanagan in the race for U.S. Senate in 2026 to fill the seat currently held by Senator Tina Smith. Kelly Parent, a healthcare worker in Stillwater and member of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa, spoke out about how SEIU members have seen Peggy show up over the years: “Hearing that Peggy Flanagan was endorsed by my union was amazing news. I had the privilege of meeting her this summer when our union members were out on strike fighting for the working people and she joined us on the front line. She told the story of growing up with a single mother who worked her whole life in the working class to provide for her and how she will continue to fight for the working class to get the respect we deserve. I am so proud that my union is supporting her in this race!” Lori Goth, a school worker in St.

We are proud to endorse Amy Klobuchar in the race for Minnesota Governor in 2026. Yvonne Gbeior, a nursing home CNA from Minneapolis and member of SEIU Healthcare MN & IA, shared why she supports Amy: "Nursing home workers have been pushing for years to improve our pay and benefits to ensure we have enough staff to care for our residents. After talking with Amy Klobuchar, I'm confident she will champion our industry's workers, fight for the funding we need, and ensure that money sent to nursing homes reaches the frontline care workers. I'm excited our union is endorsing Amy and I look forward to when she wins this race so we can get to work improving the nursing home industry for workers and residents!" Lori Goth, a special ed para in St. Michael and member of SEIU Local 284, shared why school staff like her are supporting Amy: “I am someone who votes for the person, not the party.

We are proud to endorse Keith Ellison for re-election as MN Attorney General in 2026.

SEIU is proud to endorse Attorney General Keith Ellison for re-election in 2026. At a time when billionaires and corporations are trying to bend our system so they have even more control over our lives, our state has been lucky to have AG Ellison to stand up to these attacks. He has been a leader nationally on countless issues, and his work to ensure wage theft is taken seriously in our state has made our state a leader in this critical issue. Union members have seen Keith stepping up time after time to stop those trying to break the law in our state, all with an eye to making sure regular Minnesotans have a fair shot. Having Keith in this role has been transformational in protecting Minnesotans and ensuring we all can afford our lives. We are excited to endorse Keith and intend to work hard to re-elect him for another four years."

We are proud to endorse Steve Simon for re-election as MN Secretary of State in 2026.

We’re standing with him for a future where MN continues to lead in voter turnout and where our freedoms belong to all of us!
