She's Smart. She's Tough. She's On Your Side.

Dear Fellow Minnesotan:

I'm running for Attorney General in the September 12th DFL Primary to be an advocate for patients, seniors, consumers, and citizens.

Over the last seven and one-half years, I have served as Solicitor General and Deputy Attorney General in the Office of Attorney General Mike Hatch.  And in these positions, I have stood up for people who couldn't on their own and given voice to those who had little clout.  We live in an era where many people are cynical about their government and don't always believe it represents them.  I like to think Minnesotans have been able to count on me to be on their side.

I have the experience to "hit the ground running" as Attorney General.

As Attorney General, I'll take action against prescription drug companies that engage in price-fixing or that conspire to keep cheaper generic alternatives off the market.  I'll crack down on HMOs and insurance companies that deny benefits policyholders need and deserve.  And I'll be a tough and strong champion for the public on financial privacy, fraud, predatory lending, consumer protection, and public safety.

In recent years, we have seen a spate of attempts by Republicans in Washington,  D.C. to preempt state consumer protection laws.  These are the same people who in the past used "state's rights" as an excuse for the federal government not to act in important areas like civil rights.  Now they are using federal preemption as a way to deregulate industries like banking, health care, and prescription drugs.  As Attorney General, I'll oppose federal efforts to water down the rights of patients, workers, and consumers.

I ask for your vote in the September 12th DFL Primary.

Thank you,
