Part 2 - Solving Pain Points

2 days ago | womenspress.com | Mikki Morrissette

Since the 2024 presidential election, I have thought about the rough draft of a novel I finished writing in 2017 — one that sits in the proverbial desk drawer until I have time to return to it.

I’ve enjoyed a warm and productive relationship with my DFL colleagues and supporters while remaining independent within the city’s political infrastructure.

She won election in 1976, and became the longest-serving woman — and the state’s second-longest-serving legislator — who served 46 years, from 1977 to 2023.

I’ve been inspired by feminist writers like Gloria Anzaldúa and Cherríe Moragá, whose works have informed my understanding of intersectional identity.
