Amy Klobuchar

We are proud to expand our slate of gubernatorial candidates to include Amy Klobuchar (MN), Aaron Ford (NV), and Gina Hinojosa (TX). These three candidates join our already endorsed gubernatorial candidates of Deb Haaland (NM) and JB Pritzker (IL). 

Senator Klobuchar has shown that she is the best person to lead the North Star State.

“Common Defense is proud to endorse a slate of three new gubernatorial candidates who have demonstrated what public service looks like in practice: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (MN), Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford (NV), and former Texas State Rep. Gina Hinojosa (TX). As veterans and military families, we understand that decisions made by state leaders have a direct impact on the communities we call home. From Amy Klobuchar’s work to expand health care and benefits for veterans, to Gina Hinojosa advocating for veterans in the Texas legislature, Aaron Ford protecting service members through consumer-protection initiatives, and Deb Haaland expanding land opportunities for Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans, these leaders have demonstrated a commitment to honoring the promises of those who served. That record of service is why Common Defense is proud to stand alongside them as they seek to bring that commitment to state leadership.” — Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director at Common Defense
