Natalie Zeleznikar is a long-time resident of District 3B and lives in Fredenberg Township. She is married to Dan and together they have two sons and a daughter in law.

She was a licensed nursing home administrator for 30 years, and co-founded a nursing home alternative for her grandma Hazel in 2005 as a minority owner, and CEO. This alternative was an assisted living model with fewer seniors under a roof for higher care needs. This model provided the desired quaint atmosphere for the last chapter of life that mirrored living on the farm. For nearly ten years this model served 10 Northern Minnesota communities, and in 2013 the majority owners sold. Following the sale, Natalie continued as the CEO under new ownership until 2020.

Natalie just completed her third year as a state representative and serves on the Children and Families Finance and Policy, Health Finance and Policy, Rules and Legislative Administration, and Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Finance and Policy committees.

Natalie is a strong proponent for limited government with a commitment to lead with a fundamental principle that the role of government is to uphold the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One party rule has not created a One Minnesota. It is time to lead for a Minnesota that promotes reducing taxes, growing businesses, increasing family child care providers, taking care of roads and bridges, assuring kids can read in public schools, and assuring violent criminals are locked up, so Minnesotans can prosper and feel safe. Common sense, right?

The far-left liberal extreme has hijacked the Democrat party and forced every idea from the last ten years through. With your support, you will help assure we don’t embrace a far left socialist agenda. Minnesotans do not support extremes on the right or left, and this year we experienced what the extreme left looks like.
