Learn more Fighting for Social Security Fighting for Rural America I’m standing up for family farmers who feed our nation but are too often undercut by policies that ignore their vital contributions to our communities and economy.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Rural America Supporting the Families that Feed Us All Minnesota farmers feed the world, keep food prices low, and keep small towns vibrant.

But too often, D.C. undercuts the good work of family farmers through tariffs, overregulation, and by cutting programs that families need to make a decent living.

We also need to expand connections between our agricultural producers and government programs like SNAP and meal programs that use the best products in the world to feed those who need it most.

Learn more Fighting for Affordable Childcare Fighting for Anti-Corruption Policies My campaign is powered by people, not AIPAC, not super PACs, health insurance PACs, and certainly not corporate PACs like big oil and big pharma.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Anti-Corruption Policies My campaign is powered by people, not AIPAC, not super PACs, health insurance PACs, and certainly not corporate PACs like big oil and big pharma.
Issue Position
That’s why I’m fighting for progressive policies like Medicare for All, affordable childcare, tax breaks for everyday Americans, and a tax on the ultrawealthy.

I’m fighting for Medicare for All, a moratorium on data centers, an end to Citizens United and the dark money that flows through our government, and a tax on the ultrawealthy.

That’s why I’ll fight for a national data center NDA ban, moratoriums on building data centers to let local and state governments assess the real costs without being rolled by mega-corporations bullying them, and serious environmental protections that safeguard our neighborhoods and peaceful communities.

That’s why I’ve rejected big PAC money, AIPAC money, and that’s why I’ve created my Anti-Corruption Bill of Rights.

When I’m elected to Congress, I will fight for my: Anti-Corruption Bill of Rights Overturn Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo Bar members of Congress and the Administration from trading stocks Ban Super PACS Require the President and close family members to divest all business assets and place the value of those assets in a blind trust, and require them to be covered by the same federal conflict-of-interest laws that apply to all federal employees.
Issue Position
By creating legal guardrails and oversight, we put AI where it belongs: back in the hands of public accountability, not in the hands of malicious actors and corporate bosses seeking to mint more billions for themselves.

Amend the Constitution to ban preemptive pardons and create a pardon board that includes the President, the Speaker of the House, and the Chief Justice of the United States.
Issue Position
Learn more Fighting for LGBTQIA2S+ Rights Fighting for Affordable Childcare As a parent, I believe no one should have to choose between their career and their children due to astronomical childcare costs.
Learn more Fighting for Freedom Fighting for Women’s Reproductive Rights I will champion women's reproductive freedom, ensuring every woman can actually exercise her rights through accessible, affordable healthcare in every community.

Ban federal agents from detaining or arresting people without probable cause or a judicial warrant Restrict qualified immunity for federal agents by amending section 1983 of the civil rights act to explicitly include all federal agents, and codify and extend the Supreme Court’s Biven standard to include law enforcement actions.

Require federal agencies to notify families and attorneys of the locations where their relatives are being detained and what charges they face Protect First Amendment rights by changing federal agent guidelines on the use of force guidelines to narrowly define what counts as impending or obstructing federal agents to Automatic budget cuts for Homeland Security agencies that fail to follow federal court orders as soon as practically possible.

Whose freedom is safe now?

The President has ordered the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute citizens by name for treason just because they criticized the President or his policies.

Right now, the Trump administration is bent on cruelty, throwing social services, access to accurate identity documents, and basic human rights into a tailspin.
Issue Position
Most AI corporations are fighting to remain completely unregulated, with no safeguards against the potential existential risks AI poses to our planet, our economy, and our democracy.
Issue Position
People who believe that Democracy and the rule of law are what separates America from tin-pot dictatorships, and the worst devils of our natures.

Democracy and the rule of law are what separate America from tin-pot dictatorships, and the worst devils of our natures.
Issue Position
Policies that carelessly wreck the economy, stoke inflation, terrorize our neighbors, and slash vital public services that seniors, veterans, and children depend on.
Issue Position
Learn more Fighting to Get ICE OUT of Minnesota Now Fighting for Lower Prices & An Economy that Works for Everyone I’m fighting for an economy where prices are affordable, opportunities are accessible, and dreams are achievable for everyone, not just the richest Americans.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Lower Prices & An Economy that Works for Everyone The American Dream is for Everyone Inflation, tariffs, and economic inequality are eroding the American Dream.

That includes things like the permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit and standing up to reckless tariff policy that hurts Minnesota farmers, construction workers, and tradespeople who make an honest living building houses and products we use every day.

Policies that carelessly wreck the economy, stoke inflation, and slash vital public services that seniors, veterans, and children depend on.

And, of course, even if health care services are available, if you can’t afford them, you still don’t have the freedom to choose.

Our tax system, meant to create opportunity for millions, is now working for fewer and fewer Americans.

Meanwhile, one hyperscale facility could increase Minnesota’s electricity demand by 4% – the equivalent of adding 285,000 homes.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting to Regulate AI and Data Centers Big Tech is coming to Minnesota, and they want to drain our aquifers, gobble up our farmland, and hand the bill to taxpayers.
Issue Position
Policies that carelessly wreck the economy, stoke inflation, and slash vital public services that seniors, veterans, and children depend on.

Never before have federal forces so recklessly endangered our communities, ignored our laws, damaged our economy, blatantly and repeatedly lied to courts and judges, and then tried to blame their own cruelty on us.
Issue Position
Learn more Fighting for a Just & Lasting Peace in Israel & Palestine Fighting for Freedom I'm fighting to preserve our freedoms because no American is truly free when government power goes unchecked.

The United States must end all military aid and weapons sales to Israel to send a clear signal to the Israeli government, and ensure Israel fulfills all its obligations in the recently negotiated peace agreement with Palestinians, permit all necessary humanitarian aid to Gaza, rebuild Gaza and the surrounding areas destroyed by Israel’s attacks, retract illegal settlements in Palestinian territories, and ultimately negotiate a two-state solution to create a just and lasting peace for both nations.
Issue Position
The Administration is trying to ban journalists and revoke licenses for news outlets that publish stories it doesn’t like.
I’ll require companies to build guardrails, and I’ll fight to create public-interest safety oversight agencies for these groups and to establish legal causes of action to hold corporations accountable.
Issue Position
Sure, I’m in favor of cutting red tape and eliminating wasteful spending, but this administration has made incoherent, overnight cuts to life-saving programs either accidentally or deliberately, and then refused to fix their own mistakes.
Issue Position
By slashing funding that Congress appropriated to help fight disease, find cures for cancer, and bring food to disabled seniors and veterans, they are wrecking the checks and balances system vital to our democracy.
Issue Position
I’m fighting for the healthcare my Mom needs, the retirement my Dad needs, and the future my daughter deserves.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Medicare for All Increasing Affordability and Accessibility When my Mom was seriously sick, she spent years battling the health care system, so trust me, this fight is personal.

But too many families are just one illness or accident from bankruptcy.

In the State Senate, I led the fight for affordable insulin and improved prescription drug coverage.

The federal government has the power to fix this; it provides health services and has massive purchasing power.

But big insurance and pharmaceutical companies are standing in the way, protecting their profits.

That would not only lower costs for patients, but it would save billions in taxpayer dollars.

Medicare for All: We CAN guarantee affordable healthcare for everyone by simply making Medicare available for all Americans.

Despite what so many people want you to think, this problem can be solved if we just have the will to fight for affordable health care for everyone.

Expand nondiscriminatory access to medical care, visitation, and care homes for HIV/AIDS positive patients.
Issue Position
More about Matt Issues I’m running for the healthcare my Mom needs, the retirement my Dad earned, and the future my daughter deserves.

Learn more Fighting for Lower Prices & An Economy that Works for Everyone Fighting for Medicare for All I’m committed to making quality healthcare affordable and accessible for all Minnesotans because I’ve seen firsthand how devastating medical costs harm families.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Women’s Reproductive Rights Women’s Health and Right to Choose Perhaps no issue of freedom is more intimate or important than controlling your own body.

Women must have real opportunities to receive the health care and reproductive freedoms that they choose.

Too many small towns and many city neighborhoods alike exist within health care deserts – places where there are no nearby clinics, hospitals, OBGYNs, birthing clinics, mental health counselors or even a nurse.

Without affordable, accessible health care services, no woman is truly free to control her destiny.
Issue Position
Refusing to allow basic food, health, and shelter to millions of civilians is unacceptable even in wartime.
Issue Position
They’re NOT actually here to investigate fraud, reduce crime, or even deport undocumented immigrants.

If that were their real mission, they wouldn’t have sent the largest ICE force in history to a state with one of the lowest populations of undocumented immigrants, and they wouldn’t be roaming our neighborhoods like lawless street gangs.

If elected, I will fight for this Anti-ICE Bill of Rights: Cut ICE funding immediately to pre-Trump levels, then Replace ICE with a federal immigration agency that Americans can trust and that obeys the Law and Constitution.

Launch full Congressional investigation into ICE’s illegal, unconstitutional, and abusive actions, including senior administration officials Ban federal agents from wearing masks in the course of their duties Require federal agents to identify themselves , their agency, their mission, and charges when detaining or arresting someone.
Issue Position
To make childcare accessible in this country, we need to expand the supply and reform the subsidies so they reach more people.

Affordable, accessible childcare requires an expanded Child Care Tax Credit, revising burdensome regulations that make small-scale child care financially impossible, recognizing home-based providers should be part of the system, and providing public support for working families that can’t afford childcare and can’t afford not to work.

It is long past time to ensure every community in Minnesota and the country has access to the Internet and modern farming technology.
Issue Position
Learn more Fighting for Women’s Reproductive Rights Fighting for LGBTQIA2S+ Rights Since the start of Trump’s second term, Minnesota has become a safe haven for LGBTQIA2S+ community members.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for LGBTQIA2S+ Rights Since the start of Trump’s second term, Minnesota has become a safe haven for LGBTQIA2S+ community members.

For anyone to thrive in our country, we must right the ship, and with it respect the identities of our LGBTQIA2S+ community members.

Below are my commitments to keeping Minnesota a place where LGBTQIA2S+ community members, young and old, can thrive.

Matt Little’s LGBTQIA2S+ Bill of Rights Pass the Equality Act (119th Congress: HR 15; S 1503) which amends the Civil Rights Act, among other laws, to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, medical care, criminal justice system, credit, and federal funding, federal employment, jury service, and social services.

Protect Obergefell v Hodges and ensure everyone has the right to marry.

Ban conversion therapy at the federal level.

Overturn US vs. Shilling, the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the military to ban transgender people from serving.

Protect legal recognition of parentage, expand access to IVF and fertility options, and protect LGBTQIA2S+ individuals’ rights to adoption and fostering children.

Reinstate funding for social service programs, nonprofits, and research that seek to uplift and support the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Protect and advocate for LGBTQIA2S+ youth.

Including overturning Supreme Court decisions that allow for discrimination in schools, and reinstating critical federal protections for LGBTQIA2S+ youth in foster care.
Issue Position
The concerns about AI taking jobs are real, too, and we have to find ways to balance the real-world use of AI with the outright harm it causes to working families and individuals.

There’s no better way to raise pay and benefits for working people than organizing and bargaining together.
Issue Position
I own a law firm where I fight for seniors and those with disabilities who have been hurt by negligence or abuse.
Issue Position
No taxpayer dollars should go to the world’s richest corporations.

Armed forces that don’t follow the law are nothing more than thugs.
Issue Position
The US needs to lead the way in creating binding international agreements that establish a global AI safety regime as we do with many other dangerous technologies, such as those used for biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons and energy technology.
Issue Position
Learn more Fighting for Rural America Fighting for Safe Neighborhoods I’m supporting the brave individuals who keep our neighborhoods safe while ensuring they have the proper training, resources, and accountability to build lasting trust with our communities.

The one thing law enforcement must do is follow the law.
Issue Position
Women, like everyone, should have the right to control their bodies and make choices about their own health care, and reproductive rights.

But that isn’t just about overturning Dobbs and restoring Roe as the law of the land.

It’s about making those legal rights practical and possible for every woman.

Freedom you cannot actually use is not freedom at all.

I will fight to guarantee women’s reproductive rights, both in law and in life.

Learn more Fighting for Tax Cuts Fighting for Social Security I’m committed to securing our safety net because Americans who’ve paid into these systems deserve the benefits they were promised.

I’ll ensure that if data centers want to operate in Minnesota, they pay their full costs.

Our tax code should promote fairness and opportunity for working people, small businesses, and family farms.

Skip to main content Skip to header right navigation Skip to site footer Fighting for Tax Cuts Tax Cuts for Working Families There is no way to sugarcoat it: over the last 60 years, the middle class got a raw deal.

By raising the corporate tax rate, increasing taxes on the highest earners, and eliminating loopholes like Carried Interest, we can finance the most effective tax breaks for working people to help more people afford a home, build a family, or start a business.
Issue Position
AI technology holds the promise of accelerating many beneficial discoveries in fields as far-ranging as medicine, engineering, and urban planning.
