Congratulations to our union-endorsed candidates on their election to the White Bear Lake and Saint Cloud School Boards!

These leaders understand that when students and working families have what they need to thrive, our entire community is stronger.

They know that strong public schools require investments in the people who make them work every day, from support staff and educators to the students and families they serve.

We look forward to working together to ensure every student has the opportunities they deserve and every education worker is treated with the dignity, respect, and fair compensation they have earned.

Together, we can build public schools that work for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

It's Election Day! Polls are open in Minnesota until 8 p.m. today (Tue, Nov. 3rd).

Minnesotans have already voted in massive numbers, but if you have not yet, make your voice heard by being a voter today. We have the ability to elect candidates who will stand up to those in power by lowering costs, raising wages, fixing our healthcare system and addressing the out-of-control corruption. But only if we vote them into office!

Take a moment and tell the Westonka School Board to step up and deliver a fair contract that attracts, retains, and respects the staff who help students succeed.

Westonka education support professionals make school happen. Paraeducators, custodians, and nutrition service are essential to student success and deserve wages that reflect their value.

While costs keep rising, the district has an opportunity to invest in the people students rely on every day.

"Let me be clear: An initial offer of just SIX CENTS per hour, coupled with reductions in benefits compensation, is not a serious demonstration of good-faith bargaining. It is a slap in the face to the very people who help keep our schools running."

This past Monday, October 26th, I had the privilege of attending the Delano School Board meeting alongside my fellow school board candidates to stand in support of the dedicated paraprofessionals and custodians who serve our children, teachers, and community every single day.

Election Day is less than a week away!

Don’t miss your chance to ensure students, schools, and education workers get the resources they need to succeed. Vote “Yes” on the constitutional amendment to increase funding to our schools.

Don’t skip the question! A non-vote is a no vote.

When Monticello members needed leaders to step up, Trisha and Angie answered the call.

Both paraeducators have worked in the district for 12 years and now serve as union stewards, helping members stay informed, engaged, and united.

As stewards, Angie and Trisha say their goal is simple: empower workers to make change. They helped lead a member-driven contract campaign last cycle that secured major victories, including raising the starting wage above $25 an hour, improving longevity pay, and increasing district contributions toward healthcare costs.

Their approach was rooted in consistency, communication, and member involvement through texts, emails, social media, and face-to-face conversations.

“We won because we never quit,” they said. “We stood firm on what we believed we deserved.”

Their message to fellow members is clear: the union is all of us. Whether it’s attending a meeting, showing support at an action, or speaking up about workplace issues, every member has a role to play.

Thanks to leaders like Angie and Trisha, Monticello members continue to prove that when workers stay engaged and stand together, they can achieve real change.
