The #PoliticsOfCare means ensuring everyone feels safe in their community.

Community safety has been at the top of Minnesotans’ minds. We must support public safety by collaborating with law enforcement, investing in specific community needs, and working upstream to prevent cycles of violence. 

Fund First Responder Resources

Emergency responders need us to fully fund the resources and tools they need to intervene and save lives in the community. From increasing social workers who can address mental health crises to providing resources specific to local governments, we must support the people who support us when we’re in need.

Common Sense Gun Laws

I stand with the majority of responsible gun owners that are calling on MN to expand universal criminal background checks to all gun transfers in our state. As suicide by gun and domestic violence rates rise, red flag laws will save Minnesotans’ lives while respecting second amendment rights. Without infringement, we can enact common sense gun legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of those in crisis and those who pose a legitimate threat to themselves or others. False reporting under red flag laws ought to carry penalties to deter malfeasance, and I am confident we can make sure all Minnesotans are safe while respecting responsible gun owners. 

Roads and Bridges We Can Count On

We rely on the quality of our roads on bridges every day. As our loved ones commute to school and work and as we visit family and friends, we need confidence that our roads and bridges are well-maintained. As more and more cars are on the road, we must continue to fund innovative infrastructure that keeps us safe on the roads.
