What happens when PFAS contamination becomes personal—and then political?
Minnesota State Senator Judy Seeberger joined the legislature in 2023 and helped pass one of the country's most sweeping restrictions on PFAS, the persistent chemicals found in products ranging from cookware to dental floss.
In this conversation, we talk about what happened when an environmental health problem reached her own home—and how that experience helped inform her work in the Minnesota legislature.
In this episode:
How PFAS contamination became personal for Senator Seeberger
How Minnesota became a national leader in restricting PFAS
How she filters PFAS from her own well water
What state-level action on forever chemicals can look like
What Minnesota's experience may teach the rest of us about turning concern into change
