MINNEAPOLIS, MN, February 10, 2019 – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar launched her campaign for President today in a speech on the Mississippi River at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis, Minn.
Klobuchar laid out an optimistic vision for the country, grounded in her deep Midwestern roots and lifetime of experiences as a daughter, a mom, a prosecutor, and a U.S. Senator. More than 9,000 supporters joined Senator Klobuchar and braved the February cold for her much-anticipated announcement. On the banks of America’s greatest river, she spoke to crossing the river of divides and walking across the sturdy bridge to higher ground.
Next weekend Senator Klobuchar will begin a multi-state tour including stops in Wisconsin and Iowa with additional travel to be announced in the coming days.
Following the announcement, the Amy for America campaign released a video,“Work,” highlighting several of the themes in Klobuchar’s speech.
