Meet Cindy Aho: Candidate for 13A
My name is Cindy Aho and I am a Candidate for the Minnesota House District 13A. I am running for office because I believe I can represent our district and I want to work on issues that are important to us. These issues include but are not limited to: Reproductive Rights, Support Labor Unions, Senior Needs.
I grew up in a small town in Minnesota called Hoyt Lakes. Hoyt Lakes was a mining town and Erie Mining Company the largest employer. My father was employed there and his job was driving huge dump trucks. The tires on these trucks were taller than my father.
I did not know this until recently but my father was one of the first to work on organizing labor at Erie. He never missed a union meeting and was very active in the union.
After graduation from high school, I attended Mesabi Community College in Virginia Minnesota earning my AAS degree in Human Services. From there I moved to Superior Wisconsin and graduated from UW-Superior with a BS degree in Social Work.
I used the skills I learned in college in all of my years of work. Whether in Social Work or working for the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
During my 26 years at the Minnesota Department of Revenue I was a member of the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees.
I am a strong and tenacious Democrat. I believe strongly in the right to vote and the responsibility that goes with it. This is Democracy.
Before 2012 voting and maybe contributing funds to some campaigns were the extent of my involvement in politics. All of that changed when my sister Sandra Chilson was elected to be a National Delegate to the Democratic Convention in 2012. Ever since then, I have become more active - volunteering for campaigns with post card writing, door knocking and phone calls. The more I did the work, the more committed I was.
Now it is my turn to be the candidate!! Running for office is serious business! And serious Democracy!!
I hope you will join my team by volunteering, donating, and of course voting!!
Cindy is dedicated to making a difference.
