Safe communities

All Minnesotans deserve safe communities and a fair justice system.

No matter where we were born, how we pray, or what we look like, every Minnesotan wants to make it home at the end of the day. George Floyd, like many others, should still be alive, but he was murdered by those who are supposed to protect and serve. While Minnesotans from across race and place join together to defend Black lives, a fringe minority point fingers and use our differences to make us scared of one another. We can ensure safety and well-being for everyone--urban, suburban, and rural--no exceptions. The choices made in our legal and prison systems do not treat all Minnesotans equally, especially people of color, refugees and new immigrants. We will all be safer when we put justice, fairness, and redemption first — for everyone.

I will work to prevent senseless gun violence in our communities by keeping guns out of the hands of people who have shown themselves to be dangerous. This is not an attack on our 2nd Amendment rights. It is common sense to keep our communities and children safe.

I will fight for racial justice and police accountability reforms to end police brutality and keep our communities safe, no exceptions.
