Legislative Update - Creating a More Fair Economy

Beloved Community,

In the House, I’m working with my DFL colleagues to deliver on a package of bills designed to make day-to-day living a bit more affordable. Housing, child care, health care, you name it, we have a plan to bring costs down for you and your family. Corporations and billionaires have profited far too much at our expense. I will work to reverse that trend by passing legislation that directly improves your quality of life by making sure we are on a more equal playing field.

Meanwhile, Trump has dragged us all into an immoral, illegal, and expensive war with Iran. We are facing immense domestic economic issues yet he would rather spend billions on a war no American asked for. Now gas prices are rising, putting a dent in your wallet. Trump’s war has also claimed the life of fellow Minnesotan Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor. Nicole was just days from returning home. I think we will all keep her family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Repeal of Tax on Tips - Bad Tax policy

This week Republicans heard a performative bill around taxes on tips. While it may sound nice, there are deep issues with this policy that would screw over the workers who make the least and lead to disinvestment in important government programs. If we want to help working class Minnesotans, let's start with taxing billionaires and mega corporations and raising the minimum wage.

Gun Violence Prevention

The Public Safety Committee heard a bill to ban assault rifles and a bill to ban high capacity magazines. Neither received a Republican vote so they won’t move forward at this time. I believe this is an issue that should go beyond politics. The lives of our children and grandchildren are at stake, and there is nothing more precious. I encourage you to watch the testimony of the parents who lost their daughter on that tragic day. I will continue to fight to pass these common sense reforms.
