Get StartedEmergency responders need us to fully fund the resources and tools they need to intervene and save lives in the community. From increasing social workers who can address mental health crises to providing resources specific to local governments, we must support the people who support us when we’re in need. Learn more
I voted to support a student loan tax credit for up to 1,800 per person, and I will continue to be a voice for students buried under student loan debt. Learn more
I value providing Minnesotans with pathways to good-paying jobs, supporting their small business ventures, and improving safety in the workplace. Learn more
We need to reduce the mountains of debt placed on students. College isn’t the best fit for every student and our trades are critical to a healthy society, so we must expand access to vocational and trade programs. Learn more
From protecting kids from gun violence and discrimination to ensuring every school has enough social-emotional supports, it is our job to provide the world-class learning environments our kids deserve. We must provide more school social workers, nurses, education support professionals, and teachers (especially teachers of color). Learn more
Too often, early childhood programs are restricted to those with wealth and access. We can change this by investing in early childhood programs and universal Pre-K for all. Learn more
Our education system shouldn’t cut corners to provide an individualized, world-class education from cradle to college. Our youth deserve the best learning environments that we can provide. Learn more
It is time for us to finally fully fund public education. By taking a statewide approach to innovative education funding formulas, we must reduce the unsustainable burden of local tax levies that fall on the shoulders of property owners. Learn more
Minnesota is a leader in clean elections. Requiring greater disclosure requirements from groups that seek to flood our elections with outside money is one way we can continue to enforce election security. Learn more
I stand with the majority of responsible gun owners that supported our work to expand universal criminal background checks to all gun transfers in our state. Learn more
I want our healthcare industry to be economically viable, and affordable for generations to come. I believe that by requiring hospitals, pharmacy benefit managers, health insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers to play by the same rules as other businesses in terms of pricing transparency and the work of our anti-price gouging mandates, we can ensure that all Minnesotans can access fairly-priced healthcare services. Learn more
I am carrying a bill to lead the nation in banning the use of private equity in healthcare. This is a very fine line to walk to adequately plan for unintended consequences and to ensure we strike the most perfect balance to do the most good for the most people. Learn more
For people with rare terminal conditions, we must broaden access to and opportunities to participate in clinical trials and ensure there is an ethical mandate on pharmaceutical companies to offer ongoing, compassionate access for those who benefit from them. Learn more
Too often, families in our community cannot afford the cost of medications, doctor visits, or health insurance. I will work to bring down the cost of premiums and the outrageously high deductibles that deter people from seeking exams, diagnostics, and treatment. Learn more
As a member of the Minnesota Health Plan caucus, I am advocating for a world where access to quality insurance is no longer tied to employment. Learn more
We must continue to be innovative and fund solutions that keep us safe on the roads, increase public transportation access, support local public transportation like MVTA, and we must listen to the younger people in our community who need adequate transportation options to commute to work from the communities they can afford to live in. Learn more
I am committed to passing a responsible state budget that makes necessary investments in the core functions of government while prioritizing the economic well-being of our community and the common good. Learn more
Taxes are the cost we pay to live in a well-functioning society, but taxation should never inhibit access to financial stability. Learn more
Supporting teachers with higher salaries, smaller class sizes, and more resources is a critical component of creating an equitable education system. Learn more
