“I’m thrilled to endorse Viviana Salazar for Hennepin County Commissioner. She has a proven track record of advocating to end food insecurity and supporting youth development. She is a “boots on the ground” type leader who will make the extra effort for a home visit, to support a community event and help out at the local food shelf. As a result, she has a deep connection with Hennepin County families and can uplift our voices to the places we cannot go.
People look to her strength, resilience and leadership for guidance during tough times. I know I can count on Viviana to be there for me and you can too.“

“It’s with great honor and respect that I’m endorsing Viviana Salazar for Hennepin County Commissioner District 2.
Viviana has a strong and proven record of community service and advocacy as she fights hard for basic civil and human rights for those living in underserved and underrepresented areas of North Minneapolis and beyond. Through her non-profit Nuestra Lucha MN, she taps into the creative genius of our precious youth by providing folkloric dance, cultural education, and community events that keep youth connected to their heritage and strengthening identity & pride. Whether Viviana is supporting families, engaging local organizations, securing food and other critical resources or simply stepping up when help is needed; she leads with humility and integrity.
Viviana is running for County Commissioner because she knows leadership means being present, reliable, accessible and accountable to the community, and for that, I’m thrilled to give her my full endorsement.”

“I am excited to support Viviana Salazar for Hennepin County Commissioner, District 2.
Over the past few months, especially, with operation surge threatening to tear families apart, Viviana has collaborated with a multitude of organizations for mutual aid and cultural education to help families protect their children. She has been a lifeline for so many families that need the assistance as well as harnessing the energy and resources of community members that have a need to help.
Viviana Salazar not only cares and fights for the community, she serves as an active Civil Rights Commissioner for the City of Minneapolis, quickly rising to leadership positions.”
