My name is Katie Jones and I'm driven to build a more just, resilient, and thriving Minnesota. As a clean energy policy expert with an engineering background, I hope to serve in the Minnesota House with the energy of a new generation with the wonkiness of a woman in STEM.
As a long-time community builder, I've driven efforts to bring people together and take positive action for people and the planet. I have dedicated my life to making our community a better place, and hope to continue to do so with you at the state level.

I’m ready to hit the ground running.
