- Your voice for a stronger community.
- Politics should be about people, not power.
- I believe that politics is about creating a stronger community and brighter future. To do that we have to work together. We have to end politics that seek to divide us.
- Supporting students and schools to create a robust educational system.
- Ensuring every Minnesotan has access to affordable health care in their community when they need it.
- Individuals must have the right to make decisions about their reproductive health care with their physician.
- Establishing sensible things we can do to ensure when we send our children to school they get off the school bus at the end of the day.
- Protecting LGBTQ youth and affording same rights as married heterosexual couples including automatic parenthood recognition for their children at birth.
- Legalizing and decriminalizing recreational marijuana use for adults.
As a case manager for those experiencing homelessness, I served many of our nation’s veterans struggling to find and maintain housing that met their needs after returning from deployment. When veterans return home, they often face symptoms related to trauma they saw or endured during deployment. As a state and a nation, we need to acknowledge the tremendous sacrifice those serving our country make and support them with housing, mental health and chemical dependency services.
Throughout my career I have utilized my experience to center my work as I sought to understand the human experience. I lead with empathy, compassion and a desire to understand all perspectives. I have served our neighbors during some of their darkest days and have seen first hand the pain and suffering facing our community. My personal and professional experience has also provided me the knowledge to improve programs currently wasting tax payer dollars and improve our quality of life. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all ships.
