STATE REPRESENTATIVE

From championing the first highway bus rapid transit project to being the chief mediator to protect Minneapolis’ ability to build abundant homes, he knows how to work collaboratively with people across government and community to get things done.”

STATE REPRESENTATIVE

“Peter Wagenius is effective. Our environment is attacked by well funded and well connected corporate forces. Wagenius understands the challenges we face and will work for people rather than those who are used to getting their way.”

COMMISSIONER, MINNEAPOLIS PARK & RECREATION BOARD

Please join me and vote for Peter Wagenius for State Senate.”

“If you live in Minneapolis you have undoubtedly felt the impact of Peter’s work. For decades, Peter has been collaborating on local, state, and national levels to achieve meaningful, measurable results for our communities in areas of environmental, social, and economic justice. Peter is driven not by political ambition, but by deeply held and lived values of community and public service. I cannot imagine a more capable, effective, and ready-on-day-one champion.”

His work includes advocating for environmental justice to reduce harm to vulnerable and historically disenfranchised communities that often bear the most damaging impacts of emissions and pollution.

FORMER COLLEAGUE

“Peter has a wonderful way of building consensus, but it's not the usual way where people try to find, you know, the distance between two positions and then find the middle of them. He tries to pull everyone as far as he can possibly get them in the direction of more progressive public policy.”

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MNIPL

LAWYER, CLIMATE POLICY STRATEGIST
