Senator Amy Klobuchar
Senior Senator representing Minnesota
Amy Jean Klobuchar is the senior United States Senator from Minnesota. She is running in the 2020 Presidential Campaign and is a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, an affiliate of the Democratic Party. She is the first elected female senator from Minnesota.
Klobuchar was county attorney of Hennepin County, the most populous county in Minnesota. She was a legal adviser to former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale and partner in two prominent law firms. Klobuchar has been named by the New York Times as one of the seventeen women most likely to become the first female President of the United States and by MSNBC as a possible nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Klobuchar served as Minnesota’s only senator between January 3 and July 7, 2009, due to the contested results of Minnesota’s senatorial election held the previous year.
Klobuchar spoke at The Common Good as part of the 2008 Democratic National Convention Panel.
