Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan

Peggy Flanagan has dedicated her life to public service and to building stronger communities across Minnesota. As Lieutenant Governor, she has consistently shown up for working families, veterans, and those too often left out of the political process. Her leadership is grounded in a deep commitment to community, fairness, and ensuring that government works for the people it serves.

Throughout her career, Peggy has been a tireless advocate for the well-being of Minnesotans. Whether standing up for communities facing federal overreach, defending access to vital services, or fighting to protect the care and benefits veterans have earned, she has demonstrated the kind of steady, principled leadership that moments of crisis demand. She believes leadership means showing up, speaking out, and standing with the people you represent.

Veterans know that real leadership is defined by service before self, a commitment to community, and the courage to fight for what’s right. Peggy Flanagan embodies those values. With a lifetime dedicated to organizing, advocacy, and public service, she has proven she has the strength and vision to represent Minnesota in Washington. That’s why Common Defense is proud to support Peggy Flanagan as she continues her fight for the people of the North Star State.
