A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), Klevorn represents District 42B in the western Twin Cities metropolitan area, which includes the city of Plymouth and parts of Hennepin County.

Early life, education, and career Klevorn's family has lived in Belgium and Brazil. In Brazil, she volunteered for Catholic relief agencies in the slums of cities. Klevorn attended Saint Louis University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in business administration. She is a professional mediator. She was a guardian ad litem in the 4th Judicial District juvenile court.

Klevorn chairs the State and Local Government Finance and Policy Committee and sits on the Commerce Finance and Policy, Ethics, Higher Education Finance and Policy, and Ways and Means Committees.

Klevorn authored legislation to form a citizen advisory redistricting commission to draw legislative boundaries, rather than relying on the courts as Minnesota had in multiple redistricting cycles. In 2022, she sponsored a bill to ban political parties from setting up exclusive political clubs for lobbyists to access politicians after the Senate Republican Campaign fund made a request for such a club at the state legislature. She has spoken out against the payday loan industry's predatory practices.

Klevorn wrote a bill to prohibit evictions from assisted-living homes during public health emergencies like COVID-19. When Sanford Health and Fairview announced an intention to merge, Klevorn questioned the move and advocated for additional financial transparency from the companies.
