8 Democrat presidential candidates who have talked about their Christian faith

Amy Klobuchar

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota spoke about her faith background at a CNN town hall event in February, noting that she is a Congregationalist while her husband is Catholic.

“And so faith is very important to me,” she explained, according to a CNN rush transcript. “It helped me get through my dad's addiction. It's helped me to work with members actually in the Senate on things like foreign aid, things that — I may not agree with some of these members on other things, but we have that in common.”

“I do think everyone should be able to practice what religion they want in this country. That's the United States of America. Or not practice religion. But for me it is an important part of my life.”
