I recognize the critical history of unions in establishing and protecting workers’ rights, and I am a strong supporter of workers’ right to organize and to bargain collectively. Our economy is strong, diverse, and innovative, and we can make that economy work for all Minnesotans, not just the top 1%.

All Minnesotans deserve safe, secure, and affordable housing. We need to invest in innovative solutions to take on housing insecurity as we build a brighter future for Minnesotans.

As a member of the House DFL Reproductive Freedom Caucus, I believe government should not have a role in making decisions about a woman’s body, and I support access to affordable birth control and safe, legal abortion.

Every year, more than 400 Minnesotans are killed with guns. In America, children are more likely to die by firearms than car accidents. As our families are threatened by gun violence and our children are frightened by active shooter drills, the big-money gun lobby prevents the passage of common-sense legislation favored by the majority of Americans.

As a member of the Judiciary Committee and Vice Chair of the Public Safety Committee, I frequently hear legislation with significant implications for our civil liberties, especially for marginalized and vulnerable communities.

As an attorney, I know firsthand the difference between a system of “criminal justice” and one of simply “criminal law.”

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time.

Everyone has a right to a life of dignity and security. As we continue to experience high inflation, Minnesotans are concerned about being able to support their families and protect their financial futures.
