A Fighter for Justice.

A Champion for Families.

A Leader for Perilous Times.

Perilous times call for fierce leaders.

As Washington attacks our most vulnerable communities and weakens our basic civil rights, Minnesota must rise to the fight — and win.

I’m Leslie Lienemann, and for more than 30 years I have stood up for Minnesotans as a civil rights attorney.

I have taken on powerful opponents to defend people’s rights, dignity, and futures. Speaking truth to power is not new to me. It is my life’s work.

Senate District 44 deserves a senator who will fight for our shared values and strengthen the fabric of justice that holds our communities together.

With your support, I am ready to bring that fight to the Minnesota State Capitol and deliver results for families across our district and beyond.

My Priorities for a Stronger, More Equitable Minnesota

Protecting and codifying human rights, including reproductive freedom

Addressing the rising cost of living and ensuring families can afford to thrive

Expanding access to affordable and high-quality health care for all

Supporting workers, small businesses, and the communities they anchor

Creating equitable cradle-to-career education opportunities

Ensuring safe, clean, and healthy communities for future generations

About Me

I’ve spent my life working to make our communities stronger and more just.

As a civil rights attorney, I’ve fought for workers, families, and people who needed someone in their corner. I know what it means to take on powerful institutions and stand firm when it matters.

In this moment, when so much is at stake, we need a fighter and a principled leader who will stand up for our values and for each other.

I’m running for the Minnesota Senate because I believe in a Minnesota where everyone has a fair shot, a safe community, and a strong voice in their future.
