Get StartedMinneapolis residents need to feel safe again. Our city has experienced years of trauma, and recent federal immigration enforcement activity has only deepened fear in our neighborhoods. As your State Senator, I am committed to securing permanent mental health programs like COPE and expanding substance-use and community mental health services, so safety is rooted in care, dignity, and prevention not fear.

My heart is set on ensuring that every Minneapolis resident feels safe secure in their homes and neighborhoods. As a woman of color who has faced homelessness, I am dedicated to supporting our unhoused neighbors. It's essential to remember that not everyone without a home struggles with addiction; many have unique stories, including foster youth, veterans, and women fleeing violence. With over 10,500 individuals experiencing homelessness in Minnesota on a single night, my goal is to help those who wish to find a safe, drug-free place they can call home. Learn more
The Ebony/Elderly Alert system plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety and well-being of vulnerable members of the Minneapolis community, especially elderly individuals and people of color who may be at higher risk of harm. By swiftly notifying the public and law enforcement about missing persons, this alert system fosters a collaborative approach to locating and returning loved ones. For families, knowing that their loved ones can be quickly found and brought home safely offers a profound sense of security and peace of mind. The system not only strengthens community trust but also serves as a vital tool in ensuring that no one is left behind, emphasizing the collective responsibility to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
