People-powered campaign = neighbors, workers, small donors who believe government should work for families ๐Ÿ’ช

When I'm people-powered today, you know who I'll answer to after Aug 12th. Every $5-50 makes the difference! Link in bio

We shouldn't be forced to limit activities because of smoke in our air ๐Ÿ’จ

City policy can help: Xcel franchise $ for geothermal systems, weatherization, sealing homes against pollution/heat.

Better insulation=cleaner air.
Climate adaptation=keeping families safe ๐Ÿ’ช

We've normalized Snelling Avenue being the most dangerous road in Ward 4.

From Roseville to I-94, it divides neighborhoods instead of connecting them. Speed tables, enforcement, better designโ€”we can choose safety over car convenience โœŠ

Deeply honored to receive the Moms Demand Action candidate distinction ๐Ÿงก My dad was a police officerโ€”gun violence prevention is personal. Every family deserves to know their loved ones come home safe. Together we build the safer St. Paul we deserve โœŠ #GunViolencePrevention #StPaul #Ward4

๐ŸงŠ No cooperation with ICE. Ever.

At the MICAH forum last night, I said it plain:
I will never cooperate with child snatchers and cowards hiding behind face masksโ€”not as your neighbor, and not as your councilmember.

Nearly 20% of St. Paulโ€™s land is tax-exempt. Private colleges hold \$709M in property that could generate $8.8M year. My Co-PILOT plan asks them to pay their fair share for the public services we all rely on. Itโ€™s about fairnessโ€”not punishment. #Ward4 #CoPILOT #StPaul #Taxes

This week, Iโ€™m personally matching $1 for every $5 donated. Funds go to local orgs fighting the opioid crisisโ€”an issue thatโ€™s hit close to home for my family.

Support the campaign and the work on the ground. Letโ€™s lead with compassion and action. Coleforward4.org

My mom was prescribed fentanyl. It took her life. This fight is personal. I'm running to bring a public health voice to City Hallโ€”because every overdose deserves action. This week, $1 of every $5 raised goes to local orgs. Coleforward4.org

Hi neighbor! ๐Ÿ‘‹ 3 years ago, the Snelling Ave CVS closed permanently. Its derelict presence has hindered our community's growth. This site deserves a new purpose as a mixed-use space, contributing to our neighborhood's development.

Renters deserve real protectionsโ€”no matter how old the building. Iโ€™m defending Rent Stabilization because we canโ€™t let developers lock in a two-tier system. Letโ€™s keep housing affordable for everyone.
