It’s time to fight for what people actually need,” Flanagan recently told the Guardian. “And so often I think Democrats are like: ‘What do we think we can win?’ Instead of: ‘What are the fights that we should be picking?’

What do we think we can win? Instead of: ‘What are the fights that we should be picking?’

It’s time to fight for what people actually need.

I’m ready to throw down for supporting farmers and reforming healthcare by eliminating prior authorization.

Truly affordable housing so that people can pay their rent and young people can buy their first home before they're middle-aged.

As your next senator, here are the things that I'm ready to throw down for: Ending the despicable priorities of an administration that hands out tax breaks to billionaires, builds gilded ballrooms and spends billions on bombs while…

Donald Trump has cost our state far too much, already. And we are not about to give Donald Trump another loyal soldier like Michele Tafoya to take his orders and do his bidding.

For months now I have been telling you this campaign is about the many versus the money. Well guess what? The many just won.

We need radical change, including ripping apart ICE and expanding Medicare to cover everyone.

I will fiercely defend the programs that helped me move into the middle class.

Voting three days into the second Trump administration for Donald Trump’s immigration bill that allowed him to terrorize our communities, the loss of life, the economic impact, the trauma — it’s horrific.

We can stand with the immigrant community and not just when it’s politically expedient for us.

They want folks who aren’t going to govern by sternly worded letter.

I also think it shows a pretty big disconnect from Minnesotans and the communities here.

I think we can have an immigration system where we have secure borders, but we also have an immigration system that is grounded in safety and dignity and humanity.

With the corporate PAC money that is coming into this race … you have to ask yourself, who does Congresswoman Craig stand with?

They’re trying to distract from the massive corruption that’s happening in Washington.

The governor has said that the buck stops with him and he took the lead here.

Big change doesn’t happen because powerful people suddenly decide that they care. It happens because ordinary people organize, fight like hell, and refuse to give up.

We know that they are spending on ads that you’ve seen to try to tear me down to buy the seat for Congresswoman Craig, but here’s the deal: They know that she will do their bidding, and I won’t.

What we are facing right now in our party is the very folks who are standing in the way of the things that people need to be able to afford their lives, who are Democrats, are funded by these corporate special interests. That is the choice…

How we want to run this race is by building up that room, building up this party. How we win matters.

“We got here in part because too many Democrats have been weak,” Flanagan said to cheers from the event’s 1,200 delegates.

That is one of the biggest differences between the two of us.
