    Why Alex Falconer is the leader we need

    Letter to EditorBy Letter to EditorOctober 23, 20242 Mins Read

    As chair of DFL Senate District 49, I’ve worked with many public servants. Alex Falconer stands among the best. We need him as our representative from Eden Prairie and Minnetonka in St. Paul.

    As a parent of kids in local public schools and a volunteer coach, Alex knows the importance of investing in K-12 education. He’s committed to ensuring every child in Minnesota has access to high-quality education by addressing inequities in school funding and supporting universal pre-K. He’ll ensure teachers and paraprofessionals have the resources they need to help students succeed.

    As a long-time Eden Prairie resident, Alex understands the challenges facing our community. He grew up watching his father rebuild a small business, giving him firsthand knowledge of how to create a strong economy that benefits everyone – not just the wealthy. He’ll fight for policies that help small businesses thrive and support workers.

    Alex also understands that quality healthcare should not be a privilege only the well-off can afford. He’ll work to expand MinnesotaCare, lower prescription drug prices, and ensure affordable care for everyone in our community.

    On top of that, Alex is a fierce advocate for protecting our environment, with a proven track record in safeguarding Minnesota’s natural resources. His work as campaign manager for Save the Boundary Waters and leadership on environmental issues speaks louder to his commitment than words ever could.

    Alex’s endorsements from Sen. Tina Smith, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, labor groups, Planned Parenthood and more show the trust he’s earned as a fighter for our values. Unlike his opponent, Alex has a clear vision for a fairer, more inclusive, more prosperous future.

    I urge you to vote for Alex Falconer for Minnesota House District 49A early or on Nov. 5. He will serve us well.

    Rod Fisher, Eden Prairie
