Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement congratulating Senator-Elect Peggy Flanagan:
“Congratulations to Senator-Elect Flanagan on her history-making victory. We look forward to working together to stop Donald Trump’s harmful agenda and give working families a fair shot. Peggy helped pass Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program into law and secure investments in education, healthcare, and housing – and now she is going to take that work to the Senate. Minnesota has a history of electing strong Democratic women leaders to the Senate, and Peggy will continue this legacy and be a powerful champion for Minnesotans.”
