November is Native American History Month.  Today, we will talk about: 

Penny Flanagan 

Senator-Elect Flanagan, also called “Speaks in a Clear Loud Voice Woman”, is oh-jib-way Ojibwe and a member of the White Earth Nation, making her the first Native American to be elected as a senator.  Before becoming the Senator-Elect, at just 25 years old, Peggy became the youngest member of the Minneapolis School Board, where she fought to make sure kids of all backgrounds could get a high-quality education. Peggy went on to become the executive director of the Children’s Defense Fund–Minnesota, successfully pushing to raise Minnesota’s minimum wage for the first time in a decade. In 2015, Peggy was elected to the state legislature, where she led on childcare issues. Through all her hard work, she helped pass Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program into law.
