Principled Leadership

Chris Swanson is running for the Minnesota House because our district deserves practical solutions—not political games. His platform is rooted in common sense, respect, and putting people first.

Respect

Politics has become too divisive. Chris believes leadership starts with listening and treating people with respect—even when we disagree. He will work to restore civility in government so that real conversations and solutions can take place.

Problem Solving Over Partisanship

National politics too often trickles down into state government, where clickbait and culture wars replace meaningful work. Chris is focused on fixing problems, not fueling outrage. He’ll work across party lines to get things done for the people of District 11A.

Middle Ground

As a conservative Democrat, Chris knows neither party has all the answers. He believes the best solutions often come from collaboration and compromise. In St. Paul, he’ll be a voice for balance—choosing common sense over extremes and always putting community needs ahead of party politics.

Every Voice Counts

Too many people feel forgotten by their government. Chris will make sure the voices of District 11A are heard loud and clear. Whether you’re a worker, senior, small business owner, or young family, your concerns matter. Chris is committed to being accessible, approachable, and responsive to everyone he represents.

Strong Communities

Chris has spent his life serving our communities—through teaching, local government, and community boards. He understands that strong schools, safe neighborhoods, and reliable local services are the foundation of thriving communities. In the legislature, he will fight to bring resources back home to support families, businesses, and public safety.
