Hi, it’s Al Franken. I don’t usually share messages like this, so I’m hoping you’ll read to the end for a GREAT story.
Before that, though, I want to tell you about Peggy Flanagan. She is unbelievably great and she’s running to keep Minnesota’s Senate seat blue. She listens, leads, and embodies the values that make Minnesota, well, Minnesotan.
I’ve known Peggy for a long time. Raised by a single mom, Peggy knows the impact of federal programs that help working families. She gets it because she’s lived it, and that’s exactly the kind of leader we need in Washington.
Peggy’s got the experience, too. She’s currently Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor — the highest-ranking Native American woman ever elected to executive office in the U.S.
If there’s one thing I know about Peggy, it’s that she’ll use that voice to fight for all Minnesotans.
So let’s make it happen. Contribute today, and help send Peggy Flanagan to the Senate.
As promised, I’m sharing a story from when Peggy was an organizer working with Native American communities on my 2008 Senate campaign. She told me if I went to the powwow at Red Lake, I should NOT dance. Good advice. But then a young man invited me to join in. So, I addressed the crowd and said, “Only if you don’t make fun of me after I leave.” They laughed and agreed, I danced, and a woman danced up to me and said, “You dance like a white guy.” I reminded her of the conditions of my dancing — to which she replied, “You said after you leave.” That was my first lesson in Ojibwe humor.
