“I am so honored to have earned the support from so many Take Action Minnesota members today. The reNEW.mn process has been energizing and an extraordinary learning process. We’ve been incorporating the reNew.mn vision into our campaign and I can’t wait to get to work on our shared vision for the state of Minnesota as the next governor.”

During his acceptance speech, Representative Thissen said, “[D]uring this campaign we’re going to ask a lot of each other.”  He went on to implore members of Take Action Minnesota to join him on Thursday at the State Capitol for a rally in support of General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC).
