Hello, to everyone in Southeast Minnesota!

I'm Sharon Ropes.   I'm thrilled to be receiving so much
encouragement to represent southeastern Minnesota in the
Senate!  The positive energy and enthusiasm for my run for
state office is very exciting, and I'm already working hard on
the campaign trail.  
My campaign supporters and I are asking
you for your support, to build a better community in
Southeast Minnesota
.  

As a registered nurse, a Navy veteran, a Red Cross disaster
relief nurse, a former Chair of the Winona Area Public
Schools, a Master Gardener, a small business owner, and the
current State President of Minnesota PTA, I've had a
long-term commitment to public policy in our community.  
Affordable healthcare and solid education opportunities are
two top priorities of mine, but the need for positive action is
great, on many fronts.  Veterans' needs, environmental
protection, and sustainable development are all issues that
impact our area.  

I'm a proven leader, and experienced in working with
coalitions to achieve important public goals.  

Every issue presents challenges for finding the wisest
solutions, but also offers great opportunities for building the
community that we all want this to be.  As we move through
the next few months, I'd like to hear more from you about
these and other key issues, like energy independence, social
and economic justice, transportation, clean air and water, and
taxes.  Please tour my website, and let me know your ideas.  
If we work together with determination and imagination, we
can formulate a winning program for the Minnesota State
Senate!  
Welcome to the Ropes for Senate
campaign website!
