Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I believe we can build truly safe communities through restorative justice, harm reduction, treatment, and real investments in our communities. We will foster programs that can repair and restore the historic harms caused by genocide and enslavement that surface as modern-day inequities, particularly in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

Drug Policy

We need to also protect local control by ensuring that the legislature respects communities that want to opt out of adult-use cannabis sales. Learn more

Education

I support free higher education at all Minnesota public colleges and universities as well as expanded access to career and technical education that will help people get into well-paying, in-demand career fields. Learn more

I am committed to closing the opportunity and achievement gaps to ensure public education remains a breeding ground for future leaders, regardless of their economic and racial background. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Climate change is a fundamental threat to our state and addressing it must be a top priority if we want our children and their children to have a liveable planet in the coming years. We must act as stewards of their future by safeguarding the health of our natural ecosystems. Learn more

Guns

I am a strong supporter of extreme risk protection orders, universal background checks on firearms, a ban on assault weapons, and a longer mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases. We need to move the gun lobby - the NRA - out of our politics to make way for meaningful gun legislation that protects our children and families. Learn more

Healthcare

We must stop prioritizing profit over people. I support the sustainable transition to a single-payer healthcare system. I am proud to be the Chief Author of the Minnesota Health Plan in the Minnesota House. Learn more

Housing

Minnesota must explore creating rent stabilization programs that prevent rapid rent increases from year to year. This pandemic, more than ever, showed us the importance of investment in programs that protect families from eviction and exploitation. We can not end homelessness if we don’t prevent it first.

Infrastructure / Transportation

I plan to continue my work to get the Metro Blue Line LRT extension completed. It is long overdue and has faced unacceptable setbacks at each level of government. Having a direct line from our district to other communities allows residents of the northwest suburbs to reduce our carbon footprint, gain access to increased job opportunities, and lower the financial burden of transportation around the Twin Cities efficiently.

Taxes / Budget

I support Governor Walz’s Gas Tax proposal, which would raise the gas tax by a nickel per year for four years for a 70% total increase from the current tax rate. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

We should end the exclusion of many low-wage workers - including domestic workers, farmworkers, gig economy workers, many of whom are workers of color - from employment and labor rights and expand these rights for all workers. Working people should have the right to organize unions free from corporate interference and to build better lives for themselves and their families. Learn more
