The “lower chamber” of the Minnesota legislature has two representatives per senate district for a total of 134. Representatives are elected every two years.What your state legislature does affects many facets of your life—the taxes you pay, the highways on which you drive, public schools, the state-supported colleges and universities you or your children might attend, the state parks that provide recreation for you and your family, social programs, funding for the judicial system.
My campaign is centered on five pillars: economic development, affordable housing, healthcare, habitat/clean water, and education, all interconnected for effective solutions. Freedom and democracy are core to my vision, aiming to unite rather than divide. Healing our nation involves addressing deep-rooted inequalities with bold solutions. As a cancer survivor, quality healthcare accessibility, including affordable drug prices, is a top priority. Environmental justice is vital in the climate crisis, impacting both urban and rural communities. Advocating for sustainable practices and habitat conservation is key, as is preserving the outdoor experience. Clean water, crucial for health, must be safeguarded from threats like contamination.
In Minnesota, economic growth has led to job increases, tourism growth, and tax revenues, potentially causing inflationary pressures. Rural communities feel the impact, but welcome the stimulus cautiously. While no specific bills target inflation, initiatives like tax relief, small business support, and healthcare cost containment can indirectly mitigate inflation risks. Policymakers must monitor closely and implement measures for sustainable growth and inflation management.
Legislative initiatives target racial and ethnic disparities through police reform, education equity, healthcare access, housing equity, workforce development, criminal justice reform, and voting rights protection. These actions aim to reduce disparities in education, healthcare, housing, employment, justice, and political representation for a more just and equitable society. Advocacy and policy implementation are crucial for advancing these goals and fostering inclusivity in Minnesota.
Legislative initiatives in Minnesota target climate change through renewable energy standards, clean transportation policies, carbon pricing, and more. These actions aim to reduce emissions, promote clean energy, enhance resilience, create green jobs, and protect natural resources. Continued advocacy and policy implementation are crucial to advancing these goals and building a sustainable future for Minnesota.
