Dear Neighbors,
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. Our hearts are with her family, and we will continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
My Work in Committee
In Human Services I advanced a bill that would help prevent fraud before it happens through electronic monitoring. With this bill we can precisely identify when billable work is being performed. This is how we combat fraud without harming those who rely on government services.
In the Higher Education Committee we heard a presentation from Minnesota colleges and universities about the harmful impacts of ICE. They had and continue to have a devastating impact on every part of our wonderful community. I spoke to the destruction they brought to our community.
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.
