Betty McCollum (MN-4 - D)
Betty McCollum, who represents deeply Democratic St. Paul and its eastern suburbs, fits within Minnesota’s long tradition of sending steadfast liberals to Congress. In her own low-key, steady fashion during roughly two decades in the House, McCollum’s been both a reliable vote for her party’s leadership while also compiling a reliably progressive voting record by voting against authorizing the war in Iraq in 2002, consistently opposing efforts to expand oil and gas exploration, and supporting same-sex marriage long before many members of her own party came around to the same position. She taught high school science before getting involved in politics.
