District 65 is strong because of its people, our families, our elders, our workers, our educators, our small business owners, and our young people. This campaign is about honoring that strength and building systems that finally work for everyone.
I’m running because leadership should be rooted in lived experience, guided by community voice, and measured by whether families are safer, more stable, and more hopeful than they were before.
This is a people-first campaign, focused on prevention, opportunity, and dignity.
I’m Raeisha Williams, and I’m running for Minnesota State Senate because this is my home. I’m a mother raising my children in our public schools, a small business owner in Frog-town, and a community advocate who has spent years working alongside neighbors to make our communities safer, healthier, and more connected.
This campaign is about shared values and shared responsibility. It’s about listening to residents, addressing real challenges like affordable housing, fair and equitable taxes, protecting our children and their families, strengthening public education, and making sure small businesses can thrive and create job opportunities.








Public safety is not just about what happens after harm, it’s about what we do before harm occurs. For too long, District 65 has been asked to choose between safety and compassion. That is a false choice. Real safety comes from prevention, accountability, and community-led solutions.

Small businesses are the heartbeat of District 65. They create jobs, keep money circulating locally, and reflect the culture and character of our neighborhoods.

I’m a mother first. Like so many families in District 65, my decisions are shaped by childcare costs, school schedules, healthcare access, and whether my children are safe and supported.
"Families don’t live in silos, and neither should policy."

As a public-school parent, I know our schools are more than buildings, they are community anchors.

Our elders built this community. They deserve to age with dignity, security, and independence.

Housing and affordability are not abstract issues, they determine whether families can stay in the communities they love.
