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.
Early Voting has started! You can vote early by mail or in-person at the locations listed here Sept. 18 – Nov. 2
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.

I’m always happy to talk about the amazing changes that have happened in SD-34.
“There’s a lot more diversity of opinion and backgrounds and viewpoints in the district … and I think probably my biggest argument is just [my opponent] no longer is aligned with the values of our district.”
It’s time for change, it’s time to #BackBonnie so we can #FlipMNSenate. Read more at the link below:
