Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Criminal Justice

Systemic racism has devastated too many people's lives for too long in our nation. Now we must work to achieve equity in our communities, and end practices that discriminate against our neighbors on the basis of race. I will work to support and protect people of all races and ethnicities to create a more welcoming and safe environment. Now is the time to find solutions to ensure that all Minnesotans can feel safe and welcome in their communities.

At the State Capitol
​
I supported and advocated for equal rights and protections for all Minnesotans by working on police accountability and criminal justice reforms.

I introduced a bill for a grant to Black Men Teach Twin Cities in order to establish partnerships with eight school district elementary schools or elementary charter schools with a goal of increasing the number of black male teachers to 20 percent of the employees at each school site.

I supported a statewide resolution declaring racism a public health crisis.
