Civil Rights

Shared prosperity is impossible without preserving human dignity. Equal rights, fair pay, and protection from discrimination are vital to ensuring all Minnesotans have access to successful, meaningful lives. Learn more

I am running for reelection to guarantee equal rights and treatment for every Minnesotan regardless of race, gender identity, or zip code. Learn more

We must do more to increase access to reliable and affordable transportation, make it easier for people with served sentences to gain employment, support programs for the trades and higher education, reduce the cost of childcare for working families, and ensure access to affordable housing in suburban areas. As a legislator, you can count on me to fight for equity in a way that increases our shared prosperity and works toward eliminating the many disparities in our systems. Learn more

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

We need to invest in public safety, add resources for emergency mental health services, and continually reimagine new ways to safely serve the community. We cannot forget to provide support to first responders who suffer serious mental health conditions because of the trauma faced every day on the job. We need to take care of those who serve so they can safely take care of us. Learn more

I am a firm believer that public safety is a partnership between public safety agencies and community members. Learn more

I am running for reelection to make our communities safer with proven public safety strategies. Learn more

Drug Policy

We can learn from other states, including some of our close neighbors, in how to create a market for recreational marijuana that prevents underage consumption and supports law enforcement efforts to ensure people are not driving under the influence. We can pair this work with decriminalization and support for those who have been incarcerated under the war on drugs. Learn more

Currently, too many public safety and correctional resources are being spent on the criminalization of marijuana. Smart regulations and creating a taxable market for marijuana make sense for Minnesota. Learn more

Economy

I also support greater benefits to provide a solid floor for our neighbors and families. I know that policies such as Paid Family and Medical Leave, Earned Sick and Safe Time, and further worker protections make it easier to cope with economic insecurity. Learn more

Education

Our system does not work when everyday folks cannot afford necessary health care, when you cannot find therapists that fit your personal experience, and when appointments are backed up months-and-months. Learn more

While the Legislature could not come together to spend some of our budget surplus on education this year, we have an extraordinary opportunity to improve and support our educators and students to prepare our young neighbors for the jobs and economy of the future. Learn more

We must continue the momentum, shed the stigma, and increase access to mental health support for all Minnesotans. Learn more

Environment / Energy

I support bold efforts to reduce pollution and increase clean, sustainable, and renewable resources. We need to protect communities from devastating storms, pollution and weather-related price spikes for food. Learn more

Government Reform

Minnesota has protections in place that have been tested and proven to prevent voter fraud. As independent experts and voters in our community know, our system works. Initiatives like Rank Choice Voting, expansions of no-excuse absentee voting, and other efforts to ensure full participation help ensure all have a voice in who represents us. Learn more

Social Services

We must prioritize the professionals involved in Direct Support to provide services based on our neighbors’ needs. We must do more to ensure our neighbors with disabilities are not just surviving, but thriving. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

Our teachers are formative in building the community, and they have been tasked with far more than lesson planning and instruction. It's time to recognize the many hats teachers wear and give them the support they deserve. Learn more

Hardworking Minnesotans keep our state running and deserve our strong support. I support the reinvigorated worker’s rights and unionization movement to ensure fairness and dignity in the workplace. Learn more

I also support greater benefits to provide a solid floor for our neighbors and families. I know that policies such as Paid Family and Medical Leave, Earned Sick and Safe Time, and further worker protections make it easier to cope with economic insecurity. Learn more
