iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm grateful for the trust of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation and the union members who educate our children, care for our families, build our communities, and keep Minnesota running. Let's keep building a stronger Minnesota together. 💙✊ #YesForJess #LaborEndorsed

During one of the most challenging moments of my career, my union stood beside me as we fought to defend public servants, the Constitution, and the values of public service. I'll never forget that. That's why this endorsement means so much to me.

I'm deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO. 💙 As a proud union member, I know unions are about more than better wages and safer workplaces. They're about solidarity, dignity, and giving working people a voice.

While my race is uncontested and you won't find my name on the primary ballot, I hope you'll still make a plan to vote. This election will determine which candidates advance to the November ballot for key offices that shape our communities, and your vote matters. I hope to see you there!

Thank you to the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters for your trust and support. I look forward to partnering with you and the broader labor movement to build a stronger future for Minnesota. Let's get to work! 💙✊ #YesForJess #LaborEndorsed

As a proud union member, I know the power of solidarity and what we can accomplish when working people stand together. Strong unions build stronger communities, create opportunity, and ensure working families have a voice.

I've also had the privilege of getting to know carpenters who live right here in our district. Their dedication to their craft, their families, and our community has inspired me, and I'm grateful for the conversations we've shared throughout this campaign.

I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters. 💙 Visiting the Carpenters' training center and seeing their investment in apprenticeships and workforce development was truly inspiring. They are building the next generation of skilled union workers.

Join Team Jess at the Market in the Valley this Sunday! The market is open 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m., and Jess will be there from 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. under the water tower by Golden Valley City Hall. Stop by to say hello, support local vendors, and enjoy fresh veggies, sauerkraut, and more!

Those ideals aren't guaranteed. They survive when ordinary people stand up and fight for them. That's what I'm fighting for: opportunity for all families, a true democracy, and a hopeful future we build together. That's why Lady Liberty stands with our campaign. 🗽💙 Votejesslewis.com

Jess Lewis for MN 43B

Emma Lazarus captured the vision of Lady Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…" Those words challenge us to welcome those fleeing persecution, celebrate our diversity, and defend every person's rights.

100

The Statue of Liberty is also political. I'm angry that we are failing to live up to the promise it represents. Immigrants are being denied due process, families are being treated with cruelty, and basic constitutional rights are being ignored.

100

Members of my family came to the United States through Ellis Island, fleeing religious persecution in search of safety and freedom. They entered New York Harbor beneath Lady Liberty—a symbol of opportunity, diversity, and hope. This is why Lady Liberty is personal to me. 🗽

100

People often ask why my campaign uses the Statue of Liberty. The answer is both personal and political.

I am particularly honored to have AFL-CIO’s support given all that our union brothers and sisters have done to fight for our communities these past few challenging months. When we organize, we win. Let’s do this. #yesforjess #laborendorsed #strongcommunities

Working people are the backbone of our communities, and strong unions are essential to protecting fair wages, safe workplaces, and a healthy democracy. As a proud union member myself, this endorsement means a great deal, and I will always stand with and fight for working families at the Capitol.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, waved, cheered, and made the parade so much fun. Team Jess loved walking alongside Cedrick Frazier and Team Ilhan, handing out tons of candy, blowing bubbles (of course!), and soaking up the incredible community spirit.

JessLewisMN @votejesslewis.com · 13/07/2026

What a fantastic day at the Robbinsdale Whiz Bang Parade! One of our favorite moments? Hearing a spontaneous “Yes for Jess!” chant from the crowd. 💙 That kind of energy means so much. Thanks for making it such a memorable day—we can’t wait to see you at the next community event!

Real progress happens when people come together. As a public health leader at the World Health Organization and USAID, I worked with governments, scientists, and communities to solve difficult problems and improve lives.

“We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

JessLewisMN @votejesslewis.com · 04/07/2026

At the signing of this document, not all enjoyed these rights equally and unfortunately, 250, years later, this is still true. We are work in progress. Join me in actively and collectively working to achieve these ideals.

JessLewisMN @votejesslewis.com · 04/07/2026

Happy Fourth of July! Today I celebrate the values that anchored the declaration of independence and that continue to inspire me - equality, liberty, inherent human rights, and democratic government. #FourthOfJuly #Democracy #ProtectDemocracy #CourageIsContagious #SD43DFL

The skills I honed through my doctoral research—carefully evaluating evidence, distilling complex research into clear policy priorities, and developing practical solutions—will help me craft thoughtful, evidence-based legislation that strengthens our schools and supports educators across Minnesota.

JessLewisMN @votejesslewis.com · 03/07/2026

The union represents approx. 4,000 professors, coaches, and counselors at MN's 7 state universities. As someone who earned a Ph.D. and has dedicated my career to science and public service, I know the value of higher education, rigorous research, and the educators who prepare the next generation.
