Meet Amy

Amy Klobuchar has always been guided by the values she learned growing up in Minnesota.

She is the granddaughter of an iron ore miner who worked 1,500 feet underground and saved money in a coffee can in the basement to send her dad to college. Her dad became a newspaperman who went on to cover the Vikings, and her mom was a teacher who taught second grade until she was 70 years old.

Amy has never shied away from taking on the tough fights to deliver results for Minnesotans.

She got involved in politics after the birth of Amy and John's daughter, Abigail, who couldn't swallow when she was born. Even though Abigail was in intensive care, because of insurance rules, Amy was discharged from the hospital after just 24 hours. As a mom having never held political office, she became the leading advocate for the successful passage of one of the first laws in the country guaranteeing 48-hour hospital stays for new moms and their babies.

After years in the private sector, Amy Klobuchar ran the biggest prosecutor's office in the state as Hennepin County Attorney.

She prosecuted violent crime and increased the office's focus on white-collar criminals. She did her job without fear or favor, prosecuting fraud cases and going after government corruption. During her tenure, she expanded DNA testing to solve cold cases, and strengthened community programs and protections for victims of domestic abuse.

In the Senate, Amy has been ranked number one for authoring bipartisan bills and number three for passing bills into law.

She's fought for people by taking on pharmaceutical companies and led the fight to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. She's taken on big tech companies to protect kids online, cracked down on fentanyl trafficking on social media, and gone after monopolies like Ticketmaster that rig their prices. Amy has led the effort to get rid of Trump's tariffs, rightfully calling them a tax on farms, businesses, and consumers. She's delivered funding for our roads and bridges, for workforce training and apprenticeships, and led the successful fight to get veterans exposed to toxic chemicals access to the health care they need.

Amy has stood up for Minnesotans in the Senate. She's running for governor to transform our state, to get real results for Minnesotans, and to make the government more accountable to the people.
