(St. Paul, MN) – January 5, 2026 – As Minnesota’s gubernatorial race moves forward, nurses recognize Governor Tim Walz’s support for the labor movement and Minnesota’s long-held tradition of standing with working people. We thank him for his work advancing worker-friendly legislation, including Minnesota’s Paid Family and Medical Leave and Earned Sick and Safe Time.
Nurses remain focused on patient safety and the future of nursing in Minnesota. We look forward to a robust and substantive discussion with candidates about improving patient outcomes and strengthening the nursing profession through policies that prioritize safe staffing ratios and ensure healthcare corporations put patients before profits.
