I am running for office to work with fellow lawmakers to ensure Minnesota has such things as clean air and water, good schools, and reproductive rights. Minnesota is surrounded by states that do not respect a womans right to make decisions about her own healthcare, don't consider climate change an urgent issue and do not protect workers rights. I am a tenacious Democrat who has worked in the background supporting candidates who share my values. Now, I am the candidate. I want the opportunity to represent my district and make a difference for Minnesotans.
