Minnesota Democratic State Senator Kelly Morrison has announced her candidacy for the state’s 3rd District U-S House seat.
That seat is currently held by Dean Phillips, who last month became a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Morrison was elected to the state senate in 2022 and is assistant majority leader. She previously served two terms in the state House. She has been endorsed by former Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton for the Congressional seat.
The OB-GYN from Deephaven says “women – not politicians – are able to make their own health care decisions.”
Also running for Phillips’ seat is Democratic National Committee member Ron Harris.
