Minnesota Nurses Association Endorses Dan Kessler
I am incredibly honored to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota Nurses Association.
As a psychologist and healthcare provider, I've seen firsthand the dedication, compassion, and expertise that nurses bring to patients and families every single day. Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, and they deserve leaders who will fight for affordable healthcare, safe working conditions, and policies that put patients first.
I'm deeply grateful for the trust the Minnesota Nurses Association has placed in our campaign. Together, we'll continue working to build a healthier, more affordable Minnesota where patients, families, and healthcare professionals can thrive.
Thank you for your support!
In my work as a clinical psychologist, I see every day how essential bedside nurses are to the physical and emotional well-being of our communities. MNA’s 22,000 nurses aren’t just extraordinary caregivers, they are fearless advocates for patient safety and fair working conditions. Earning the support of the Minnesota Nurses Association is a true honor. I will be an unyielding partner in their fight for safe nurse-to-patient ratios, accessible care, and a healthcare system that values people over balance sheets.
