Minnesota’s party primaries are over, and the November 4 general election slate of candidates is set. It’s now time to make sure that candidates who share nurses’ values are elected.
If we hope to make progress toward staffing legislation that will keep patients safe, nurses need to help make sure voters to go the polls and elect candidates who will advocate for nursing, our patients, and our communities.
Nurses are the most trusted profession in the United States and the best messenger to let voters know about the candidates who will be on the side of working families.
You can join other nurses and make phone calls, talk to your neighbors and friends, and go to candidate events.
There are opportunities in every part of the state to help elect candidates who will stand with nurses.
