Passionate social service advocate will bring bold new leadership to the County Board

St. Paul, MN (February 4, 2014) – TakeAction Minnesota announced its endorsement of Lori Stee, who is challenging incumbent Janice Rettman in the race for Ramsey County Commissioner District 3.  TakeAction Minnesota’s membership screened both candidates on Saturday.

Political Committee Chair Gene Nichols said that Stee is the kind of bold progressive champion that TakeAction Minnesota seeks to support. “In her years of work to close the racial jobs gap, including as a leader in TakeAction Minnesota’s Justice 4 All campaign, Lori Stee has shown that she has a deep sense of what’s at stake for people’s lives in our communities. She is the right leader to tackle new challenges and fight for the common good.”

Stee said she was proud to receive the organization’s endorsement. “Winning positive change takes building strong partnerships across individuals and organizations in our communities. I’m proud that TakeAction Minnesota has chosen to join with me in my campaign to fight for racial and economic justice at the County Board.”

TakeAction Minnesota has a track record of success in supporting progressive candidates, and will be working hard in the coming weeks to support Stee in securing the DFL endorsement at the Party’s convention on March 29th.
