Endorsements

“I’m proud to endorse Kelly Morrison for Congress in Minnesota’s 3rd District,” Representative McCollum said. “Kelly has been a powerful advocate for her constituents during her time in the state legislature. Her experience as an OB-GYN at a time when women’s rights are under attack and her support for protecting the Boundary Waters as a national treasure will be a welcome addition to our soon-incoming Democratic majority as we fight to codify reproductive rights, provide affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans, and protect our environment. I look forward to welcoming Kelly as my colleague in Congress.”

Sarah Stoesz -
"I have never endorsed a candidate for public office and thought I never would. Until now. I am supporting Dr. Kelly Morrison for Congress in the Third Congressional District of Minnesota. She is the ideal candidate for this time in history. She is a scientist, an OBGYN, a working mother and she is kind, and she is tough when she needs to be. I have never seen her as a politician. I have seen her driven by facts, and reaches conclusions, rather than opinions or party line dogma. Hers would be a fresh set of eyes. The kind of eyes that look at sets of facts in the same way she must diagnose an illness or treat a patient. She will bring the instincts of her profession, as a mother to the issue of reproductive health. Her understanding of science will inform her on the crisis of climate change – not money or politics. I’ve always wanted a leader who would care for my children the way she cares for her own, and those she is professionally dedicated to. I endorse Dr. Kelly Morrison as a candidate for Congress. I trust her to make decisions that advance the health and welfare of the people she represents- Minnesota and the United States. Not herself."
