Senator Liz Boldon was elected to represent Senate District 25 – which includes Rochester, Oronoco, and Cascade, Haverhill, and Oronoco townships – in 2022. Prior to that, she served one term (two years) in the Minnesota House of Representatives. She is Vice Chair of the Senate Housing and Homelessness Prevention Committee, and serves on the Education Policy, Elections, and Health and Human Services Committees. She also serves as an Assistant Majority Leader, and as Co-Chair of the Inclusive Democracy Caucus, the Minnesota Health Plan Caucus, and the Minnesota Values Project.

Senator Boldon has been a registered nurse since 2002 and is a mother of three. Her policy work is largely centered around lowering the cost of healthcare, defending democracy, reducing gun violence, strengthening housing protections for homeowners and tenants, and making childcare more affordable. Senator Boldon’s background as a community organizer and her strong focus on Minnesotan’s shared values drive her work to build inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.

Legislative Accomplishments

During her time in the Senate, Senator Boldon has championed several pieces of major legislation, including the Democracy for the People Act – protecting and expanding voter access in Minnesota – and the Minnesota Debt Fairness Act – helping Minnesotans who are struggling with medical debt.

In recent years, Senator Boldon has been pushing hard to pass her Manufactured Home Park Residents’ Bill of Rights, which would cap lot rent increases for homeowners, give park residents a right for first refusal when the park owner intends to sell the park, and enact stronger protections against out-of-state Wall Street investors who exploit Minnesotans in manufactured home parks. She has also worked to prevent private equity from buying up Minnesota’s supply of single-family homes, because housing is for families to grow and create cherished memories – it shouldn’t be a cash cow for private equity.

Much of Senator Boldon’s work has focused on defending democracy and strengthening campaign finance laws in Minnesota. She has pushed bills to end the disastrous Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC and get corporate dark money out of Minnesota elections, because our government belongs to We the People, and billionaires shouldn’t be able to buy our elections.
