Unions expand democracy.

Labor has lost trust in the DFL. I will help rebuild it. #dncautopsy

30% of our labor siblings voted for Trump. We need to be asking why. Active listening. #unionstrong

Stacey Abrams broke it down for us: democracy, DEI and how labor fights for civil rights for all through organizing, mobilizing, engaging and voting! 💛💚❤️🖤 #cbtu2026

Housing must be accessible to everyone. We must support a wide range of affordable housing options across income levels, across demographics, across cultures. We need to prevent eviction, promote and stabilize homeownership initiatives, and develop and maintain affordable rental units.

As a 2023– 2024, Hubert, H Humphrey Policy Fellow, I had the opportunity to work on a project called “Building Civic Bridges through Collaborative Community Engagement” with a wonderful cohort. We wanted to explore how to get people engaged in our civic process, knowing that we all don’t agree on..

I’m proud to say that I and so many others across the state worked on the pension bill for Probation/ Parole agents and 911 telecommunicators and to see that it passed and will go to the Governor for signature after so many years of work is truly amazing! I want to thank the bipartisanship staff on…

I had the opportunity to attend the Hennepin County State of the County address today. Some of the issues addressed was the immigration response in Hennepin County, safety and justice, economic development and…

I had the opportunity to be in community with victims of gun violence. Fathers, sisters, mothers and community listened to a panel of leaders advocating for gun reform. #protectmn #northminneapolis *CD5

The median age to buy a home in Minnesota is 39 years old. The American dream that people talk about is out of reach for so many young people. Building generational wealth and being able to take care of your families as well as live somewhere safe and secure is absolutely necessary…

Congratulations to the Minneapolis NAACP, on increasing their membership. Community advocacy starts with all of us.

I had the opportunity to attend the Ward 11 Townhall in South Minneapolis today. There was a discussion around the new wellness center for emergency personnel, police oversight, and recommendations for review panels for the Community Commission on Police oversight.

The Supreme Court has said that you can use race for stops concerning immigration, but you can’t use race for voting districts and representation in Louisiana. It’s time for change.

I had the opportunity to speak to Lake Street business owners who have suffered greatly since metro surge. They get together collectively to bring concerns forward. Listening to constituents is how we learn what the needs are.

To all the mothers, stepmothers, caregivers, and animal parents, I hope you had a wonderful blessed day!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mother Michele! She was the queen! Love you always

Why I chose to not seek the DFL endorsement My mother always told me that I had to vote Democrat because they were the party that cared about families like ours. I still believe that, but we have a lot more to do to bring communities back in.  Therefore, after listening to the district, I have….

For the last several years, Probation and Parole agents along with 911 telecommunicators have been attempting to get a pension bill through the Minnesota Legislativecommission on pensions and retirement. Last year, the legislature commissioned a work group to determine best practices on how….

Working and connecting! #cd5mn

I had the pleasure of sitting on a black leadership panel in Minneapolis with retired Fire Chief Tyner and the Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt along with community members to talk about raising strong Black leaders.

Pt 1: CD5 constituents deserve a representative who can focus on the issues most important to them. Many have no healthcare, rising costs, astronomical student loan debt, and cannot afford to live in their own homes. The Focus needs to be on well paying jobs…. @cd5 #minnesota #itstimeforchange

Had a wonderful time at the Let’s talk event. I had the opportunity to speak to teenagers regarding what they want to see for the future, how can we support them, and how can we breathe the generational divide to have honest conversations about how we move the country forward. I learned so much!

POV: There must be a safe home for black people in politics. Disregarding our experiences because you don’t understand them is inexcusable. We are told to sit down and shut up to make other people comfortable, even in the DFL. Black people are not just votes in November.

Thank you, Anoka County DFL for the wonderful conversations this evening! I look forward to speaking to Community to hear what is most important to them #cd5 #minnesota

Had a wonderful time at the Nellie Stone Johnson Scholarship Dinner with fellow Union leaders from across the state. I am so proud of my Union and many others who continue to support one of our labor giants and the students who are our future!

Black women are three times more likely to die at childbirth than other women in this country. As your next representative, I will advocate for equitable and responsible maternal healthcare policies that will address such harm.

I am grateful to have the support of the feminist caucus as we work towards advancing key protections for women across this country! We need to pass the equal rights amendment!

We must invest in our future leaders!

Dr. Hill is an amazing union leader and advocate for equity and justice in our community. I am thankful for her leadership and look forward to advocating for all in Washington DC

Tim is a advocate for veterans and mental health. I appreciate your hard work in community and look forward to continuing to advocate for veterans and mental health treatment in Washington DC.

Minister Faith is a powerhouse and true advocate for young people to be involved in our democracy. I look forward to building the bench and bringing them into our process. It is time for change, especially for our young people.
