 "I’m pleased to support Shelly for the MN House. I’ve had the chance to watch her lead as Mayor, and I am impressed by her steady and practical approach to getting things done. When I represented Moorhead in Congress, I focused on working with local leaders on projects that made a real difference for the community. Shelly helped carry that work forward by making sure the 11th Street underpass was completed.

I know she’ll bring that same focus to the legislature, and I’m proud to support her."
