The True Minnesota Progressive
From Walnut Grove Minnesota to Washington D.C.
A leader who knows your struggle and promise
Unbought, Unbossed, Unapologetically Minnesotan
Rooted in Minnesota’s proud tradition of prairie populism, civil rights advocacy, and progressive common sense, Nick Leonard believes government can and must be a force for good—tackling inequality, defending democracy, and investing in everyday Minnesotans.
As a New Deal–style progressive for our time, Nick will bring bold, people-first solutions back to Washington.
A New Deal for a Fairer Future
America stands at a crossroads.
For too long, the voices of everyday people have been drowned out by the noise of political gamesmanship and establishment inertia. From rural farms to city blocks, Americans are asking for more than promises—they’re asking for leadership that sees them, hears them, and works relentlessly on their behalf.
Nick Leonard is listening—and preparing.
Guided by progressive conviction and grounded in real-world experience, Nick is part of a new generation of leadership ready to challenge what isn’t working and reimagine what could. He isn’t waiting for permission to speak truth to power. He’s engaging communities, shaping ideas, and building momentum—not for personal ambition, but for a more just, equitable, and people-centered future.
The status quo has had its turn. Now, a new era is taking shape—led not by insiders, but by those who believe government must work for the people.
Change doesn’t begin with a declaration. It begins with a direction. And Nick is already moving forward.
