Dean Phillips just launched a primary campaign against President Biden.
My name is Ron Harris and I’m the Democrat running to replace Dean in Congress. Retweet this, give me a follow, and help spread the word!
This is the third cycle—with Joe Biden as the leader of our party—in which Democrats are winning big across the country.
It’s exactly why I’m baffled by Dean Phillips’ attempts to weaken the man who continues to deliver.
Dean Phillips is running for President using Republican talking points—days after Republicans elevated MAGA Mike Johnson to Speaker.
I’m running a primary campaign against Dean so MN-03 has a strong Democrat who is focused on the district.
Joe Biden will beat Dean Phillips.
With your help, so will I.
But I need the resources to do it. Chip in to make sure Dean isn’t re-elected to Congress:
President Biden is not too old to run for reelection.
He has accomplished more in three years than most of his predecessors did during their presidencies.
I look forward to continue working with the President when I get to Congress.
Dean Phillips has abandoned Minnesota to primary President Biden.
My name is Ron Harris and I’m the Democrat running to replace Dean in Congress. Retweet this, give me a follow, and help me get to 15k to spread the word!
My name is Ron Harris and I am the Democrat running to defeat Dean Phillips.
President Biden will defeat Phillips nationally, and so will I here in Minnesota.

This is how do it in Minnesota for
@KamalaHarris
! We meet their rallies with real action! 435+ ready to hit the doors and talk to voters after this kickoff!
I've said it before. I'll say it again. Abortion rights are on the ballot in 2024.
This story out of Texas is abhorrent. Courts should not dictate whether women can receive emergency medical procedures.
We must flip the House and protect abortion rights.
BREAKING: Late tonight, the Texas Supreme Court temporarily halted a lower court ruling that would have allowed Kate Cox, our plaintiff with severe pregnancy complications, to have an abortion to protect her health and future fertility.
I got my start in politics watching Barack Obama being elected as America’s first Black President.
15 years later, I am running for Congress to defeat Dean Phillips and put Minnesota residents first.
We are going to win this race together.
My name is Ron Harris and I’m running to replace Dean Phillips in Congress.
But I’m much more than just a primary challenger to Dean.
This is my story. 🧵
This election cycle has been wild, to say the least. One of the best parts for me so far is seeing the rest of the country getting to know our governor, Tim Walz, and why we appreciate him and his leadership. We’re all really proud of him.
Dean Phillips has announced that he is running for President.
Well, here’s the deal – I’m running to beat Dean.
Both President Biden and I will defeat Phillips. Retweet, follow, and help spread the word.
President Biden has done more good for America than the 5 GOP candidates on stage (and the one who isn’t).
All the more reason we must rally around the President in 2024.
Dean Phillips is more concerned about running for President than combatting the chaos in Washington, D.C.
He even said he would pick a Republican as his VP.
Phillips is not working for you. It's time to defeat him and restore confidence in our leadership in Congress.
Dean Phillips is endangering our democracy by attempting to weaken President
@JoeBiden
.
I’m running a primary campaign against Dean to defend and build upon all the progress we’ve made.
If you’re with me, chip in:
BREAKING: Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) is running for president, challenging Pres. Biden in the Democratic primary race.
He tells
@costareports
and
@CBSMornings
he won't "be quiet" as polling numbers "are so clearly saying that we’re going to be facing an emergency next November.”
I watch the polls like everybody else. But I come from the Paul Wellstone school of politics— always run like you’re ten points behind.
When we fight, we win.
Today, I’m excited to announce I’m running for Congress in
#MN03

@JoeBiden
& deliver for working families. If you’re with me, chip in & join our movement here:
Rather than attempt to weaken President Biden like Dean Phillips, let’s energize voters by celebrating progress.
As a climate resilience expert, I’m excited by the Inflation Reduction Act—the biggest action taken on climate change.
Reply w/ the Biden win you’re most proud of.
Dean Phillips said on Bill Maher tonight that he wouldn't rule out having a Republican as Vice President.
Seriously. For all you "Biden is too old" Dems, how you like that one?
Unlike Dean Phillips, I stand with President Biden and am ready to work alongside him to help Minnesota families.
We can and will restore focused leadership to this district.
Guys, this isn't complicated-Bill Maher is supporting a Dean Phillips challenge to Biden because anything that helps Trump get elected, ultimately gets him more viewers though outrage, which helps his show attempt to stay relevant.
Maher has always been about self-interest.
Next year, President Biden will defeat Dean Phillips in the Presidential primary and I will defeat Phillips in this Congressional primary.
If you’re with me, share this and chip in today!
Democrats are having fun again. Yes, the stakes in this election are high, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find joy in the fight. In fact, we must find joy. Fear can’t be the sole motivator.
Today, House Republicans will vote to authorize a sham impeachment inquiry that does nothing to benefit the American people.
We need to get back to governing. That starts with flipping the House blue next year. We have so much work to do.
Republicans currently have the slimmest majority in American history.
One seat may very well decide the House majority next year.
That's why ensuring Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District remains under Democratic control is critical.
I decided to go into politics after watching President Obama’s win in 2008.
His campaign electrified a whole generation of Americans.
And showed that folks who look like me can run, win, and make a difference.
I am not just running to defeat Dean Phillips. I am running to protect abortion rights for Minnesotans, reinvest in our infrastructure, and ensure our residents have a path to succeed—no matter where they come from.
#MN03
Our campaign's momentum is strong!
We are taking the fight all the way to Washington, D.C. to make sure that those serving in Congress put the people first. But they haven't always looked out for families like mine.
We can change that together. Join me:
Today, I'm heading to a family farm in Northfield, Minnesota to discuss how my economic agenda is investing in rural America, in the heartland, and in communities that have been overlooked or ignored for far too long.
At some point, if our leaders won’t stand up to the gun lobby, then we have to.
With over 500 mass shootings in less than one year, America is hurting, and young people are suffering the most.
My career in politics began after President Obama’s win in 2008.
15 years later, I’m running for Congress myself because the stakes are too high to wait.
As a young person, I am going to put our future first. Let’s win this.
#MN03
Abortion rights are on the ballot in 2024, and Republicans are going to do everything they can to flip Minnesota’s 3rd red.
I won’t let them.
Together, we will protect reproductive rights for all Americans.
Thanks to the President Biden, $3.8 billion in infrastructure & clean energy investments have been made in Minnesota.
It’s clear that President Biden and Democrats deliver. I look forward to supporting this Administration’s efforts to put Minnesota first in Congress.
ICYMI: I launched my campaign for Congress, and the response has been tremendous.
I look forward to supporting President Biden’s agenda in Congress.
Learn more about my background and why I am running:
I want to thank Dean Phillips for his service to our community. I look forward to ensuring MN-03 has strong and effective Democratic leadership in Congress.

ICYMI: I jumped into the race to replace Dean Phillips in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.
Learn more why our district deserves energetic new leadership.
I officially launched my campaign video this week and the response was tremendous.
I am running for the seat currently held by Rep. Dean Phillips.
Can you share this and chip in today to help me win this critical race?
Heartbreaking and cruel. Prosecuting a grieving mother after having a miscarriage. A terrifying example of the consequences women can face as a result of anti-choice laws.
It was never about abortion, and always about control.
This is heartbreaking. A woman in Warren, Ohio, has been charged with abuse of a corpse for trying to plunge a toilet after having a miscarriage at 22 weeks while using the restroom.
My name is Ron Harris, and I am running for Congress to keep Minnesota’s 3rd blue and ensure government works to improve people’s lives.

I am running for Congress to continue the work President Biden has done over the past three years.
From infrastructure investments to climate reform, we’ve accomplished so much, but our work is just getting started.

We are gearing up for a major announcement next week, and I am going to need your help to spread the word.
I am Ron Harris, and I am the Democrat running to defeat Dean Phillips. Share this and chip in to help me spread the word!
ICYMI: It’s been just over one month since launching my candidacy for Minnesota’s third congressional district and the response has been tremendous.
Minnesotans are ready to keep this seat blue, no matter how hard Republicans try to take it back.
By choosing not to file to run in NV and snubbing SC— the nation's first primary—to focus on NH, Dean Phillips is ignoring Black and Brown voters.
That’s unacceptable. I believe in a vision that is inclusive of everyone.
If you’re with me, chip in:
To beat Dean Phillips—someone fortunate enough to self-fund a campaign—we need a strong grassroots operation.
With October wrapping up, my team has a goal of 1,000 unique donors by end of month.
Can you rush a contribution today so that we hit our goal?
Running for Congress as a first time candidate is not easy.
But I’m not running alone.
The people of Minnesota’s 3rd district deserve a leader committed to amplifying their voices, their values, and building a vision together.
Gun violence is the issue of our generation.
President Biden has done more than any prior President to combat gun violence in America.
I look forward to continuing this work alongside him when I get to Congress.
Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District is a must win for Democrats if we have any chance at flipping the House blue next year.
I’m the Democrat who will get it done.
Can you chip in today to help me win this race?
Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District is critical to the House majority.
My name is Ron Harris, and I am running to make sure we keep this seat blue.
Share this, chip in, and let’s continue charting the path forward for our country.
The House majority runs through Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.
This is a must win seat if we have any chance at flipping the House blue.
My name is Ron Harris. I am the former Chief Resilience Officer for Minneapolis, and I am working to put power back in the hands
I grew up in Coon Rapids.
My mother was a single mother and an educator.
She taught me resilience.
Now, I am running for Congress to embody her lessons in D.C.

I am running for Congress to represent my home and the people I love in Congress.
Join me:
My policies and my values represent the policies and values of Minnesota’s 3rd.
It’s why I am running to usher in a new generation of leadership to this seat.
Pardoning a former president who’s committed felonies is the exact opposite of “in the best interest of the country.” What’s best for the country is ensuring neither one of these two come anywhere remotely close to the White House.
Nikki Haley said if she is elected president, she would pardon Donald Trump if he's convicted of a crime, saying the amnesty would be "in the best interest of the country."
Thanks to President Biden, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act.
As a climate resilience professional, I'm pumped to see funds go to support the fight against the climate crisis.
Our work has only just begun on this issue.
Three years ago, insurrectionists stormed our Capitol, threatening our democracy in the process.
On that day, democracy prevailed. But, the threat from extremists is as serious as ever.
I’m running for Congress to hold those who espouse extremism accountable.
No surprise Democratic governors across the nation recognize and appreciate the leadership Governor
@Tim_Walz
brings to the table. Congratulations, Mr. Chair!
BREAKING: America’s Democratic governors just voted to elect Minnesota Gov.
@Tim_Walz
to serve as the new Chair of the Democratic Governors Association for 2024!
Congratulations, Chair Walz.
It’s been a few weeks since I launched my campaign to defeat Dean Phillips and the response has been tremendous.
Can you keep the momentum going by sharing this and chipping in today?
We’ve now experienced more than 600 mass shootings in 2023.
With the new year approaching, we have to take action now to make next year better, not worse.
From Texas to Kentucky, women have had to seek court approval to receive medical abortions.
This isn’t right. This is unAmerican. Women should not have to receive permission from a court to receive necessary medical treatment.
I’m excited continue the work of building a better democracy as State Director for the President’s campaign in Minnesota and in partnership with senior advisers
@jbuoen
and
@alanajpetersen
— two of the absolute best in the business. Let’s get to work!
My New Year’s resolutions are simple: keep Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District blue, end the gun violence epidemic, protect abortion rights, and fight the climate crisis.
Together, we will make history on November 5, 2024.
#MN03
Gun violence is a core issue of our generation.
We cannot continue waiting for our leaders in Washington to act.
As a young person, I am running for Congress because enough is enough. It’s time to pass real gun reform and save lives.
It’s an honor to receive Mayor Melvin Carter’s (
@melvincarter3
) endorsement in my run for Congress!
In Congress, I look forward to working with Mayor Carter and leaders from across our state.
Mayor

endorses Dem primary challenger to U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips, who’s running against Biden in presidential primary: Ron Harris was Chief Resilience Officer in Minneapolis; currently DNC Executive Committee member; Midwestern Caucus Chair.
From codifying abortion rights into federal law to fighting the gun violence epidemic to saving our democracy, too much is on the line to wait.
I am running for Congress to protect our future generations and flip the House blue.

From the climate crisis to protecting abortion rights, we have so much work to do in Congress.
I’m a young person. I am running for Congress. I am going to pass real change in Washington, D.C.

Abortion rights are on the ballot this year.
If we don’t take back the House in November, Republicans will try to pass a national abortion ban.
I will not let them. We will keep
#MN03
blue and flip the House blue.
From climate resilience to racial justice, I served as the Chief Resilience Officer for Minneapolis.
My fight is only getting started. I am running for Congress to fight the climate crisis, lower costs for American families, and ensure equal justice for all.
The climate crisis is here regardless of whether Republicans admit it.
As Minneapolis’ Chief Resilience Officer, I fought to make the city one of the best at combating climate change in the entire country.
What a journey! After much consideration, I have decided to suspend my campaign for Congress in Minnesota’s Third Congressional District.
I could not be more grateful for the support, encouragement, and investment from so many of you.
My full statement:
The gun violence epidemic has gotten completely out of control.
We’ve experienced over 500 mass shootings in less than 365 days this year.
If we don't stand up to the gun lobby now, more Americans will die. It’s time for action.
I am proud to have Mayor Carter’s support in this critical race. Minnesotans deserve leaders who will stand up for our generation in Congress.
It would be an honor to be one of those leaders.

I am running for Congress to usher in a new generation of leadership for Minnesota residents.
Chip in and let's win this race together:
From my family to yours, wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
This holiday season, may we also take a moment to honor those who serve us overseas and thank them for the sacrifices they have made while fighting for our freedom.
I launched my campaign for Congress two months ago and the response has been tremendous.
We are running a grassroots campaign with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents supporting our effort to keep Minnesota’s 3rd blue.
Minnesota is home to thousands of veterans.
Today, on Veterans Day, may we honor their courage, remember their sacrifices, and commit to always supporting them.
As your next Congressman, you can always count on me to protect our great veterans.

The climate crisis is here, whether some like to believe it or not.
As a former resilience officer, I fought for climate reform in Minnesota.
I will do the same when I get to Washington, D.C.
Thanks
@MollyJongFast
for having me on Fast Politics! I had a great time talking why I’m running and how to ensure MN-03 has strong and effective Democratic representation.
We owe it to our current and future generations to take the climate crisis seriously.
I worked to build resilience to climate change as Minneapolis’ Chief Resilience Officer and I continue that work today advising and supporting local government leaders all over the world.
I already miss his heart and tenacity for people.
I got to work with Ady in 2015, encouraging the Fed to reflect the realities of working people in its monetary policy. We shared a belief that even the most elite institutions could be reformed.
Ady was service personified.
Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]
We are less than one week away from our critical end of quarter deadline.
I am running to keep Minnesota’s 3rd blue, end the gun violence epidemic, and codify abortion rights into federal law.
Can you chip in to help me get it done?
I’ve seen working folks get left behind for too long.
The system simply doesn’t work for them.
I’m running to be our voice, bring our experience to Washington, and fight for our shared values. Are you with me?

I will bring that spirit of resiliency to Congress to push for paid sick and family leave, an economy that works for everyone, and a justice system that treats everyone equally.
