It is with great pride and unwavering confidence that I endorse Melinda Mihajlov for Minnesota Senate District 29B.
Melinda is not just a candidate—she is a force of leadership. A United States Marine Corps veteran who served our nation honorably in Iraq, Melinda now leads as a successful businesswoman, devoted mother, and respected community advocate. She embodies the values we need in public office: discipline, service, resilience, and heart.
Her real-world experience—on the battlefield, in the business world, and in her local community—gives her a unique and powerful perspective. She understands the struggles of working families, the importance of economic opportunity, and the need to uphold the freedoms we hold dear. Melinda leads with grit and grace, and her grassroots commitment is exactly what we need to keep our elected officials grounded and accountable.
As a fellow Marine veteran, a public servant, and a lifelong advocate for veterans and working-class Americans, I know firsthand what it takes to lead—and I know Melinda has it.
She will not be a politician lost in the echo chamber—she will be a fighter for the people. I am honored to stand with her in this race.
Minnesota, you have a chance to elect a true servant-leader. Let’s send Melinda Mihajlov to the State Senate.
