‘Bout a decade ago we were peeved at Collin ‘cause he wasn’t supporting a trans-inclusive GLBT rights law. So come the district convention, four of us all but stalked him until we got a few words with him. Collin considered our argument, then let us talk to a staffer, and a short while later Collin was supporting that inclusive GLBT rights law.
A few years later I moved into Collin’s Minnesota 7th district and got to talk with him more. He’s a political genius, one of the few surviving democrats in a double digit R+ district where less than a handful of democratic legislators have survived. I learned that besides supporting the GLBT community, Collin’s a strong supporter of tribal sovereignty and labor.
But the strongest reason I’m supporting Collin is because of his advocacy for farming and our rural communities. Collin ain’t just an advocate, he has a deep understanding of farming that neither party can replace. So for our rural communities and farmers, I’m stickin’ with Collin!
