City Council Candidate for Ward One in Blaine, Minnesota

Dignity

Dignity in short means that we should have a multiracial democracy that honors every person’s civil rights; we are all in this together regardless of our sex, gender, race, creed, or economic status. No one should ever be afraid to be their authentic self.

Affordability

Simply put; it’s lower cost for working families. You deserve to work and at the end of the day still have some money left in your pocket. You should be able to plan for your future, raise your family, and have time to enjoy life. Corporations can make money but not at your expense; they need to pay their fair share.

We should prioritize the well being of our communities and standards of living over corporate profits.

Community

Who Am I?

My name is Alex Tierney and I’ve lived in Blaine, MN for move than eight years. Like many of you I also live in a manufactured home. For the past year and a half I have been a community organizer, I very well may have knocked on your door before my candidacy about housing bills, town halls, or rallies at the Capitol to talk to our legislative representatives.

I originally am from Massachusetts where I grew up and was educated in Political Science and Philosophy. I went to a Horace Mann college, Westfield State University, that was the first in the country to came to offer education to people without barriers to race, creed, or economic status. I moved to Minnesota in February of 2013 and have worked in a variety of fields from academic to health care.

Currently I work as an Accounting Officer to provide retirement, disability and survivor benefits to Minnesota’s educators.
