AlFranken's profile

I am running for US Senate and having an absolute blast. Everywhere I go - from Nashwauk to Minneapolis, Mankato to Moorhead-- I find huge crowds of passionate supporters. Throughout the campaign, I’ll use my sites like eons to connect and energize voters from around Minnesota and across the country. From Hubert Humphrey to Paul Wellstone and now Amy Klobuchar and Tim Walz, Minnesota's public servants might not always look and sound like typical politicians - but they stand by their principles and lead by their values. That's the kind of leader I think we need more of these days, and that's the kind of Senator I'll be. I have been married to my wife, Franni, for 32 years - many of them happy. We are the proud parents of two wonderful children, Thomasin and Joe. Campaigning keeps me pretty busy so I might not always have time to reply to every message myself. My trusted Team Franken interns will help me respond to some of these, but I will reply when I have an opportunity. I cannot win this race alone. Visit my website, volunteer your time, contribute what you can - we’d love to have you on Team Franken!
