Recently, we learned that State Senator Tom Bakk formed a new caucus. This is not the first time he has broken off from the DFL caucus. Regardless of his stated reasons for doing it, he represents the people of senate district three and we expect him to do the job we elected him to do.
It is disappointing that this seemingly political transaction happened after an election that he won as a DFLer because it raises questions about his honesty and desire to cling to power. At the end of the day, we want someone representing our interests and fighting for us and the things we care about, such as strong schools, good wages and benefits for Cook County workers, affordable housing, access to health care, clean water, tribal sovereignty, and getting Minnesotans through this pandemic.
