​We need a strong, Democratic leader to help our state seize the opportunities that are laid out before us. I have made it my mission to make our state a place that is more equal, more fair, and where everyone has the opportunity to build a better life. I am proud of the work I have done throughout my career to address the important issues facing people in Minnesota.

​

The values for our community that I hold most dear are these: social justice, equality, and compassion.  I want us to be a state that evinces every day in our public action the same commitments that will characterize the community I want to live in – a community where we can count on each other, act on our most generous and loving instincts, and protecting those among us who, without that protection, would suffer.
