Bonnie Westlin
Candidate for MN Senate District 34
Maple Grove, Osseo, Dayton and Rogers
ENDORSED!
I have been working hard since 2016 to organize, build a solid campaign and raise money to ensure we win in November. And we have to win because too much is on the line in 2020.
I am in the best position to take on the current, entrenched incumbent. But I need to get through the primary first. So I need your vote on August 11. Early voting begins on June 26 and you can apply for an absentee ballot at MNVotes.Org

I’m Bonnie Westlin. In 2016, I stepped up to run as a first-time candidate for Senate District 34, opposing long-entrenched Republican Warren Limmer. I didn’t win that first race, so I went to work meeting constituents, listening to their concerns, and preparing for a rematch this November. I’m ready to turn SD34 blue, and go to work for the people in my district and all across Minnesota.
I’ll work to make health care accessible and affordable for all Minnesotans.
I'll work for racial justice and meaningful police reform.
I’ll work to fully fund and strengthen Minnesota’s pre-K through 12 public education system.
I’ll work to enact common-sense legislation to reduce gun deaths in Minnesota.

Where I Stand…
Our common values bind us together as a community and should always serve as our guide for making our state work better for all of us, no matter what we look like, where we come from or what our economic status is. It’s time to reject the politics of division. Now more than ever, we need leaders who bring us together, not tear us apart
Healthcare
The current COVID-19 pandemic has shown the deep, structural problems with our current healthcare system. We need to ensure that all Minnesotans have access to high quality, affordable healthcare, in good times and in bad. We also need to ensure that providers are able to respond swiftly to any healthcare crisis that arises, and that those working on the front lines have everything they need to protect themselves and their patients.
Education
It’s time that we fully fund our public education system, including ensuring that our schools have the vital support services they need, such as counselors and social workers, to help students be successful. I will work with teachers, administrators, parents and students to eliminate the opportunity gap, and ensure that Minnesota continues to have one of the most highly educated workforces in the nation.
Public Safety
Minnesota has failed to pass common sense gun violence prevention measures, primarily because my opponent refuses to hear any of these bills in the Judiciary Committee he chairs. Expanded background checks and Red Flag laws have broad public support and have been shown to reduce gun deaths. I strongly support these measures, and will work to pass these bills in my first year in office.
Racial & Social Justice
I am fully committed to addressing racial and social justice issues in Minnesota and dismantling the systemic, structural racism that permeates every institution and corner of our society. We do not need more empty community conversations that do not result in concrete action.

Endorsements
This fire happened about half a mile or so from my house. I am so incredibly sad for this family, whose 4th of July ended with the destruction of their home.
Thank you to our incredible Maple Grove Fire and Rescue, and the support from surrounding communities, for putting this fire out.
My thoughts go out to the family. I am grateful that everyone is ok, but the loss of one’s home is a such a devastating event. I know our community will support them as they recover.
