Dr. Wendell Smith is a general surgeon, Air Force veteran and longtime physician serving the Iron Range community for 2 decades. After proudly serving in the USAF, he made his home in northern Minnesota, where he has spent the past two decades caring for patients from all walks of life. Through his work in medicine, Dr. Smith has gained a deep understanding of the real challenges people face from access to care to the everyday pressures of working families. It is this commitment to patients and community that he plans to bring to Washinton, where he will work to ensure every American has access to affordable healthcare, strengthen rural health systems, and support policies that put patients and providers first. Dr Smith holds a B.S. in Microbiology, and an M.D. He completed his surgical training in Bilox, MS. He served in South Korea and at the Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.

Support Warren & Sanders' Wealth Tax Bills

Add your name

Two major proposals have just been introduced in Congress, by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Both would tax the richest of the rich on their wealth (annually at 2% to 5%) and direct trillions toward supporting working Americans.

Two Bold Proposals to Tax Wealth Across the Land

"How can the U.S. reverse democracy-distorting concentrations of wealth and power? A federal annual wealth tax must be part of the equation.

"The richest 0.1 percent — the top one-thousandth of households, who are all worth over $50 million — have seen their wealth surge since the beginning of the 2020 Covid Pandemic. U.S. billionaires have seen their wealth double since 2019, with the top 19 U.S. billionaires adding $1 trillion to their wealth in 2024 alone."

Tell Your Senators to Oppose the Fix Our Forests Act

from Endangered Species Coalition

The so-called Fix Our Forests Act poses grave threats to our environment, wildlife, and the democratic process of public participation in environmental decisions.

Do States Have a Secret Weapon to Counter Trump's Forest Service and Medicaid Cuts Before the Damage Becomes Permanent?

& will the corporate overlords allow it?

"The federal government announced the destruction of the United States Forest Service via the same process of royal decree that this nation was founded on ending. So much for originalism, right? No floor debate, no public hearing, no vote. Just a piece of paper that ended 121 years of institutional history before most people had finished their coffee.

"The forests are one emergency. The health care system is another. The reconciliation bill that Republicans passed last year and that the president signed into law on July 4, 2025 cut more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid and ACA marketplace coverage.

"So here is what governors in blue states can do right now, using authority they already hold..."

..."if anything like this ever did become law, the cleanest single document would likely be a valid U.S. passport in your current legal name, because it proves citizenship directly. A REAL ID driver’s license would not, by itself, count as proof of citizenship under this proposal. People with name changes could be forced to assemble a full paper trail connecting birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, or court orders to their current legal identity."
