I support building a better Minneapolis police force to restore community policing. This will improve police-community relations throughout the city.

● We will work with the MPD to make sure that law enforcement reflects Minneapolis by hiring more women, individuals from BIPOC communities, and people that live in Minneapolis.

● We must further develop Minneapolis' mental health co-responder program.

● We will fund programs for housing co-responders to provide resources for people experiencing homelessness.

I believe that every family deserves a safe home, and I have always supported tenants' rights.

● We will collaborate with developers to include affordable housing in new ward developments.

● We will advocate for affordable housing, policies that support aging in place, affordable home ownership, and renter protections.

● I support finding an immediate solution to encampments while shorter and longer term solutions are developed with a Health & Human Service approach.

I believe that we need to address the issues that make it difficult for small or new businesses to succeed in Minneapolis.

● We will advocate for businesses in our city by simplifying the processes of permits, inspections, licensing, and accessing city resources.

● We plan to lessen the degree of regulation and additional costs imposed on businesses in Minneapolis compared to similar jurisdictions.

● We will work to increase loans and grants to encourage business development.

● We will coordinate programs that train individuals for careers in technical fields; such as healthcare, IT, and construction to grow our city's economy.

Your city council should work for you. As a trusted public servant, I plan to do just that.

● We will be transparent about our goals and progress in ward 2 newsletters.

● We plan to form focus groups to get your input on your city's government.
