Erin Maye Quade

Erin Maye Quade is the DFL nominee for the Minnesota State Senate (District 56). She previously served in the represented State House of Representatives from 2016-2018.

Maye Quade would be the only LGBTQ woman in the State Senate, and the first African American woman to serve in the chamber. In the State House, Maye Quade was an outspoken champion for gender justice, and the primary sponsor of bills banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth and eliminating the so-called "gay panic" legal defense.

She was the only person in Minnesota to flip a Republican seat in the 2016 election, and one of the youngest people ever to be elected to the Minnesota House. She ran for Lt. Governor in 2018 but her ticket did not win the Democratic primary. Maye Quade and her wife, Alyse, live in Apple Valley, MN.
