first elected to the MN State Senate in 1992

Robertson has served in the state Senate for 10 years and has often clashed with local party officials over her views on education funding and her support for the Profile of Learning graduation standards.

In 2002, she was denied party endorsement for the seat she currently holds. Robertson says the Republican Party has swung too far to the right, and is no longer a welcoming environment for moderates.

"There is a message of intolerance as it relates to the issues of being anti-choice, about being anti-gay, about being anti-Indian, about being anti-standards in education -- in many instances being anti-light rail and -transit," she said.
