Phil Castrovinci: I Want Something New in Our State

December 10th, 2009

My name is Phil Castrovinci and I live in Rochester, Minnesota.  I wanted to share why I have joined the reNEW Minnesota campaign as a supporter: 

I want something new — something new in our politics, and something new in our state.

I want to be involved in process where I can help pick the most viable, most progressive candidate there is.  And I want that investment of my time to mean something before, during, and after the election.  I think reNEW Minnesota fits that bill.

I care about issues, but I also care about the big picture.  I believe in a vision of our state:

  • where we are all in this together,
  • where we make decisions now to improve the lives of our children’s children,
  • where the inherent worth and dignity of every person is recognized without exception,
  • where we embrace a politics of inclusion and justice for all, and
  • where there is a fair, equitable economy that benefits everyone.

I want to know which candidates agree with me and really, exactly how they plan on making this vision a reality.  I’m in this for the long-run and I want to know which candidates are going to stand with me after the election and on the issues that aren’t politically easy: racial justice, labor rights, and raising revenue when we need it.

I hope you’ll join me.
