Meet Esther
My name is Esther Agbaje, and I’m honored to serve as the State Representative for District 59B.
As a renter, transit rider, lawyer, and public servant, I understand the challenges families in our district face every day. I came to the legislature to fight for a Minnesota that works for all of us, where every resident has a safe place to live, reliable transit options, and opportunities to thrive.
I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together — but our work isn’t finished. Together, we can build the inclusive and just Minnesota we all deserve.
Priorities
Focused on People. Driven for Results.
Affordable Housing
Everyone deserves a safe and stable home. I’m working to make housing affordable and accessible for all, by supporting first-generation homebuyers, strengthening tenant rights, and investing in programs that help families stay in their homes.
Public Safety and Community Well-Being
Real safety comes from trust and care. I’m focused on expanding mental health services, investing in crime prevention, and supporting community-based solutions, from youth outreach to neighborhood safety programs, that keep people safe and strong.
Reliable Public Transit
Transit is essential for connecting people to jobs, schools, and opportunity. I’m fighting for a system that’s reliable, affordable, and clean—with better routes, safer streets, and an electric fleet that serves every neighborhood.
Investing in People, Not Corporations
When corporations take more than they give, our communities lose out. Minnesota needs a fair tax system that holds corporations accountable so Minnesota works for everyone.

With your support,* I’ll keep fighting for housing justice, public safety, and opportunity for every Minnesotan.
