I’m not doing much fundraising for or even contributing to Democrats this cycle, certainly not unless they have a shot at winning AND are genuine progressives, ready to save U.S. democracy and to fix the Democratic Party. But I am asking for your help to support Peggy Flanagan, U.S. Senate candidate for Minnesota. Here’s why. 1/

Flanagan is the real deal. She is the first indigenous person to hold state executive office in Minnesota. She’s got the support of outgoing U.S. Senator Tina Smith and Sen. Bernie Sanders. They did a rally with her yesterday in Rochester, MN. https://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/photos-u-s-senator-bernie-sanders-and-lieutenant-governor-peggy-flanagan-visit-rochester-on-may-2-2026 2/

NM Senator Martin Heinrich, a member of the “fight club” - Senators resisting Schumer’s midterms focus on centrists rather than progressives - is hosting an event for Flanagan in #SantaFe #NewMexico on May 7. I want to join him in showing cross-state support for Flanagan. This is why I have signed up to raise at least a thousand dollars for the event. 3/
@heidilifeldman This is good to know about Heinrich as well. We will see what we can do to chip in here.
More on how Flanagan and Heinrich stand against excessive conservatism from Schumer. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/30/chuck-schumer-janet-mills-meltdown-2026-00902217 4/
As founder of a new network of grassroots progressive groups in NM, https://www.landofaction.org/, I want to be part of a coalition of voters telling the Democratic Party to support progressive candidates in the primaries and progressive policies in government.
I’m taking the opportunity to demonstrate my commitment to this cause by raising money for Martin Heinrich’s event for Peggy Flanagan. If you are willing to help, give ANY AMOUNT via this link, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/05072026santafe?refcode=Feldman 5/
Helping me support Peggy Flanagan achieves many things at once. A few:
-she is a true progressive and will be a great U.S. Senator from MN
-helps empower the sitting Democratic Senators who are going to the mat for Flanagan as part of overall effort to move the Party toward robust progressivism
-show solidarity in the empowerment of indigenous women in U.S. politics, from Haaland in NM to Flanagan in MN, and beyond

@heidilifeldman Is she running for Amy’s seat or Tina’s? Genuine curiosity: Does it matter?
PS My instance asks for political posts to include a Subject, which is why I’ve added one
@BirderPainterBaker she is running for Tina’s seat.
