Chris Ford has dedicated his life to service to Minnesotans. He served as a firefighter for 21 years, including 13 years as Captain in Rochester. He works as a paraprofessional at Blaine High School, helping to educate our kids. He supports our community as a Park Board member and member of the Neighborhood Traffic Commission. And now, as Blaine City Council Member, he is leading efforts to make our communities safer, healthier and more affordable and to restore accountability in government.

Across Minnesota, there's a growing sense that the voices of everyday citizens aren't reaching Saint Paul or Washington, D.C. Rising costs and concerns about accountability make it harder for people to feel heard and supported. Our communities deserve better leadership that listens, follows through, and works for us all.

Chris Ford is running for State Senate to be our trusted public servant in Saint Paul. Our community has trusted Chris Ford to protect us, to educate our kids and to represent our communities for decades. And Chris Ford has already delivered. We can trust him to serve us and to deliver safer communities, lower costs, better schools and health care.
