Kelly Moller is a career prosecutor, victim rights advocate, and Shoreview mother who is running for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 42A, which includes Arden Hills, Mounds View, Shoreview, and Spring Lake Park.
Kelly has built her career as an attorney working for a safer Minnesota. She went to law school after friends shared with her that they were survivors of assault, and she’s devoted herself to improving the system’s response to crime victims while also ensuring that the most dangerous offenders are held accountable. Kelly recently collaborated with various groups to improve Minnesota’s hit-and-run law after she was contacted by a victim whose brother was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
Kelly will listen to the people of our district and be a voice for them with the same thoughtfulness, passion, and conviction that she has had as a prosecutor seeking justice.
