Column16 n/a
For the Eastside, my top priority is clean air for everyone, as well as continued economic development. There is a way to balance both creating new jobs and also ensuring that our air and water do not poison us.

I also hope we can build on the success of last session to ensure all our neighbors have access to safe and secure housing. The legislature’s $1 billion investment in housing last session was only the beginning - we need to make sure that these dollars work, and continue the momentum.

For kids across Minnesota, my priority remains access to a foundational computer science education so that all of our kids are prepared for a 21st century economy, and so that our local companies have a sustainable workforce.
In MN, we won’t see rates go up like other countries in the world because of the leadership of our governor and President. In fact, a key driver of inflation, gas prices, is at one of its lowest in years.

But there are key actions we can take at the state level to get a hold on inflation: Promote and support more production of goods in MN, and source domestically; invest in childcare infrastructure to create new jobs, which will allow women who left the workforce during the pandemic to return.
The pandemic only exacerbated Minnesota’s health and education inequities that have persisted for too long. This is why funding public schools to cut down the teacher/student ratio, and providing extra support to the students who need it most - many of whom have IEPs, are low-income, immigrant, and/or are students of color. We also have to actively tackle the health disparities that made it more likely for Minnesotans of color to be hospitalized and die from COVID, than their counterparts.
Climate change is the single most important issue facing my generation and my children’s. I can still remember when President Reagan believed in global warming- and did something about it with Democrats! It’s sad that in the year 2023 in Minnesota, the DFL had to pass a bill to establish a carbon-free energy standard for Minnesota without the support of anyone across the aisle. This upcoming session, I hope we build on this important work, and I hope that our colleagues across the aisle join us.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
