A MESSAGE FROM DAN POWERS:

I’m Dan Powers. Thanks for visiting my website. I’m running for Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District because I want to bring real representation back to our community.

Our Representative in Washington has abandoned the Minnesota principles of hard work and shared responsibility for our country and our future. We can do better. We must do better. Congress has a unique opportunity to create lasting jobs in our community, reduce skyrocketing health care and energy costs, and leave a better world for our children. I believe in fiscally-sound debt reduction because I’ve run a small business myself.

This progress starts with electing a main street Democrat like me. I share the experiences and values of our community. I’m asking you to support me in taking these values to Washington. Please read about me and my campaign on this website. I have persevered demanding personal and professional life experiences that have prepared me to be a dedicated public servant. Together, we can accomplish this extraordinary job.

Thanks,

-Dan Powers

 "Despite the suit I wear now," Powers said about construction workers.  "I can relate to them really easily."
