While billionaires play games in Washington, families across the country are making impossible choices—turning on the heat, or putting food on the table.
America is off course—but Minnesotans can lead the way.
From the Twin Cities to the Iron Range, from Rochester to the Red River Valley, Minnesotans care for our neighbors, fight for our values and believe in the freedom to be who we are.
That’s why Melisa López Franzen is running for U.S. Senate. She’ll bring Minnesota’s values of hard work, grit, decency, and common sense to Washington.
She’ll rise above the partisan gridlock, put working families first, and bring sanity back to government—because every Minnesotan deserves a fair shot.
Melisa doesn’t make excuses—she makes progress. She has a reputation for taking on the toughest fights and proving that leadership isn’t about talk, it’s about getting things done.
In Minnesota, we don’t back down. We show up, work hard, and lead the way—Just like the North Star.

Melisa López Franzen has spent her career fighting for Minnesotans—not playing political games or pandering to special interests—but fighting for real people.
As the daughter of an educator and a police officer, Melisa’s family taught her the values of hard work, service, and community.
When her parents told her, “You can complain or do something,” she chose action—flipping a Republican district, becoming the first Latina DFL Senate Leader, and delivering real results for working families.
When people said, “It can’t be done,” she expanded Medicaid, raised wages, secured marriage equality, improved patient safety, and passed reforms that have strengthened Minnesota for over a decade.
As small business owner and a leader at the University of Minnesota, Melisa has continued shaping the future of our state—defending rights and freedoms from attacks by unelected billionaires.
