My top three priorities have and will continue to involve Action. Affordability. Accountability.
My first priority is making life more affordable for our community members by investing in housing, childcare, healthcare, rural economic development, farmers, working people and families.
My second priority is securing permanent funding for Minnesota’s Community and Family Resource Centers, prevention, education, mental health services and the support families need before they reach a crisis.
My third priority is making sure government works for the people who live here. That means protecting essential services, supporting local communities, making sure programs actually work and being transparent about how our tax dollars are spent.
A vibrant economy is one where people can afford to live, work and raise their families. I want to measure our economy by what is left in a family’s bank account after housing, childcare, healthcare, transportation and utilities are paid. I would support investing in rural communities, small businesses, workers, housing and childcare while finding ways to lower the costs that squeeze family budgets. Economic growth means little if families cannot afford to stay here.
I would support legislation that addresses disparities identified through both community voices and data. I want to listen to the people experiencing these disparities and invest in solutions developed with the communities affected. That includes culturally responsive healthcare, housing stability, education, workforce development, prevention and community-based services. We should use both lived experience and data to target resources where they are needed.
Yes. I support putting an Equal Rights Amendment before Minnesota voters. Every Minnesotan deserves equal protection under the law, regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, sex, pregnancy, gender or sexual orientation. Our Constitution should clearly reflect that principle and protect the rights of Minnesotans from discrimination.
Clean air and clean water are not partisan issues. I believe we have a responsibility to protect the land, water, wildlife and natural resources that sustain our communities and future generations. I would support strong environmental protections, investment in clean water infrastructure, action on PFAS and other contaminants, and meaningful government-to-government consultation with Tribal Nations. We should value both science and Indigenous knowledge when making decisions about our environment
This is where prevention and restorative justice need to be invested in. Accountability at every level of public safety must be a priority, while making sure law enforcement, first responders, victims, courts, treatment providers and community organizations have the resources they need. We also need to address the root causes that contribute to crime, including housing instability, substance use, mental health needs and lack of opportunity, while keeping victims and community safety at the top.
We need to get big money out of elections. Period. I would support expanding public financing and small-donor programs so a campaign can be built on people, not wealthy donors or special interests. I also support stronger disclosure of who is funding political advertising, including money moving through outside groups. If we want government to be accountable to the people, our elections need to be accessible to the people too.
