Jess Hanson

Representative Jess Hanson knows what everyday Minnesotans are up against. Jess grew up in a trailer park and worked two jobs to make ends meet, eventually saving enough to support her family and become the first member of her family to go to college. In the legislature, Jess has worked tirelessly to help all Minnesotans gain better access to higher education and the financial means they need to thrive. A proud mother of two, Jess is excited to return to the legislature to help families all across Minnesota.
