WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Kelly Morrison for Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.
“Kelly Morrison is the leader we need to champion affordable health care for all Americans. An OBGYN doctor, Kelly has been on the frontlines to ensure women have the right to make their own reproductive decisions,” said Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL), Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “She learned as a State Senator that it takes working across the aisle to get things done. Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Kelly’s candidacy for Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.”
“As an OBGYN and State Senator, I’ve seen firsthand the issues that Minnesotans are facing daily. I’ve put our community’s priorities first, spearheading efforts to protect reproductive rights, provide resources to veterans, improve maternal health care, and ensure our children are getting the best education to set them up for success. I have always fought for Minnesotans and will continue to put our priorities ahead of political agendas. I thank the Members of Elect Democratic Women for this endorsement and look forward to working side by side with them to make meaningful change,” said Kelly Morrison.
