This is how you protest. Not yelling throughout the chamber back-and-forth like a fifth grader. Thank you, Representative Green!

Such a blessing that he is still here. We had the opportunity to talk about how health and human services funding in Minnesota is impacting probation and parole officers and their work in community. We need to make sure we have enough community support, and resources for our clients

I had the opportunity to meet with Senator Hoffman today, and as I was waiting for him to get done with his meeting, I took a picture of his nameplate. It reminded me of how much resilience that he has, that Minnesota has. In the face of adversity, we still stand!

The panel had esteemed members from the Minnesota Vikings, Minneapolis Fire Dept, a hydro scientist, civil engineer, and educator and musician! Thank you Sara Schreiner, NBCT for the opportunity to speak on today. We must teach and mentor our future leaders!

As I was at the Capitol today, I was able to witness family members, friends and community of the Annunciation school shooting victims as they brought Hope to legislators prior to the public safety committee. They sang songs of light and peace.
It was a beautiful sight to see.πŸ™πŸ½

In community at the capitol today to hear gun legislation. It failed with a split vote of 10-10 in committee. We need our legislators to pass a ban on assault weapons! Bill: HF 3433 (Greenman) Possession of semiautomatic military-style assault weapons banned, and criminal penalties provided.

I had the pleasure of attending and participating in the union member Candidate program by the Minnesota AFL-CIO. I learned so much about running for office. I look forward to using the skills that I learned to advocate for all and win this race!

In community today, listening to black community leaders discuss a legislative agenda that is inclusive of those left behind. It was great hearing perspectives and solutions as to how we move forward.

Wishing you all a safe and abundant Valentine's Day as you celebrate with your loved ones on today. With all that is going on in Minnesota, please take care of yourselves and celebrate Love. As Bad Bunny said, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

AFSCME International president Lee Saunders announced that he will be retiring after 14 years! He is a wonderful example of fighting for all! He will surely be missed!

I was honored not only to attend the Elected Officials Convocation, but to speak as well.

It was a powerful opportunity to share my vision for accountable leadership, integrity, meaningful community investment, and ensuring everyday people have a real voice in the decisions that impact their lives.

I believe compassion and accountability must go hand in hand, especially when public dollars are involved.

My approach is grounded in sustainability β€” building fiscally responsible, community-driven policies with strong oversight that don’t just sound good, but actually work and last.

As a career probation officer and union president, I have spent my career working directly with community members, workers, and local institutions. That experience has shaped a leadership style rooted in accountability, transparency, and trust.

I am a collaborator and bridge-builder who believes progress happens when we bring people together β€” across neighborhoods, cultures, faiths, and political differences β€” to solve real problems. I will listen to all of MN-CD-05, including people I may not always agree
