My name is Julie Greene, and I want to be your next State Representative in the Minnesota House because I believe everyone has the right to live in a world where they are safe – and free to experience joy. I know this is possible — and I know it takes work.

As a former Edina School Board member, I know what strong representation and active engagement look like to be impactful in decision-making – listening to constituents' concerns and knowing how to effectively take action to address them. I bring practical experience and knowledge, proven accountability as a trusted leader, and innovative thinking and passion to this important role, and I ask for your support and vote on November 5. It would be an honor to represent the people of Edina and Bloomington at the Capitol advocating for our shared values and priorities for a better Minnesota!

With much appreciation,

Julie

Raised in the suburbs of Chicago with a pack of sisters, my parents instilled in me a core sense of responsibility to the community around us. This means we speak up for ourselves and others. We contribute to make things better. We do our part when we can. Even as a young girl, I understood the power of advocacy. As a pre-teen, I collected classmates’ signatures as the student council Vice President successfully petitioning for extended recess time in middle school (!). While in college, I worked to establish the first Victim’s Advocate Program at my alma mater. In my 20s and 30s, my career in public relations focused on many community-centric efforts including healthcare, education, nutrition, and children’s advocacy programs. I am a lifelong advocate, listener, and have a proven track record as someone who can get to work to make meaningful improvement in our communities. I will continue this as your next elected Representative.

Scorecards

See also:State legislative scorecards andState legislative scorecards in Minnesota

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
