A House Divided Cannot Stand.
Our future depends on leaders willing to reject extremism and work together.
I am running for Minnesota House District 41A to build the bridges that will strengthen our communities and protect our neighbors. Now more than ever, we need to stand up for one another. It’s time for common-sense results in the St. Croix Valley.
Focused on the Right Priorities.
Meet Cole
Born and raised in the St. Croix Valley, Cole Birkeland is an attorney, devoted husband, and active member of our community who understands the challenges we face.
For several years, Cole and his wife, Shelby, have called Lake Elmo home. As a board member of a local community service organization, Cole works hands-on to serve his neighbors and strengthen the community we all share.
Professionally, Cole has a unique understanding of how government is supposed to work for the people. As an attorney, he has served as legal counsel to various local governments, working on the frontlines to ensure government furthers the public interest within its lawful authority. Today, he represents working people, fighting to protect their rights and hard-earned retirement savings against wrongdoers—a commitment to fairness and fiscal responsibility he will bring to the Capitol.
