9/19/24
WINONA, Minn. — Land Stewardship Action issued the following statement announcing its endorsement of Sarah Kruger for MN State House District 26A.
“We are proud to support Sarah in her campaign to represent the people of House District 26A. We share a common vision for vibrant, growing rural communities and sustainable agricultural practices. If elected, we look forward to working with her to offer solutions at the state level,” stated Emily Minge, Political Organizer for LSA. “This year, LSA aims to build participation and engagement in all levels of government. We know and have seen how important state level policies are in creating the farm and food system we need for all Minnesotans.”
Sarah is the Chief of Staff for FairVote MN, a non-profit organization that advocates for democratic reform.
To earn Land Stewardship Action’s endorsement, Sarah attended LSA’s local candidate forum to answer questions from the public, completed a state level candidate questionnaire, and cleared an internal vetting process with LSA’s Political Committee and Board of Directors.
This year, leading up to the fall elections, Land Stewardship Action is focusing on engaging members, supporting candidates, and building power at local and state levels of government. This is a direct response to feedback from those in LSA’s base, as they feel directly impacted by the funding and resources that the State House and Senate allocate for our food systems and our rural communities.
