Protecting The Freedom to Vote
As an organizer, voting rights lawyer, and now, as your state representative, I’ve dedicated my career to protecting and strengthening our democracy. While powerful MAGA extremists are working to dismantle democracy, I have been fighting to pass laws that protect every Minnesotan’s freedom to vote.
Democracy for the People Act: The Democracy for the People Act protects and strengthens the freedom to vote, combats the influence of dark money and foreign-influence corporations in our politics, and ensures our democracy is fair, inclusive, and responsive to Minnesotans across the state.
Minnesota Voting Rights Act: The Minnesota Voting Rights Act protects voters against racial discrimination and voter suppression. While the Supreme Court continues to weaken the federal Voting Rights Act, Minnesota is leading the way in empowering voters to challenge discriminatory election practices, banning prison gerrymandering, and expanding voting access for college students.
Election Workers Protection Act: As threats against election workers rise nationwide, the Election Workers Protection Act provides critical safeguards to uphold free and fair elections in Minnesota. This law makes it illegal to intimidate or harass election officials, interfere with election administration, or unlawfully access voter registration systems and election equipment.
