My Record

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.

Unrigging the Economy

In the legislature, I’ve worked to unrig the economy and put power back in the hands of working Minnesotans.

Banning junk fees: I passed a bill to ban hidden and deceptive fees that cost the average Minnesota family more than $3,000 per year. My bill offers clarity for consumers and ensures companies aren't using deceptive practices to rip off their customers.

Fighting the Climate Crisis

Minnesota's Green Bank: I authored the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority — Minnesota's Green Bank. The Green Bank has already begun investing millions of dollars into innovative clean energy projects in the communities that need it most.

Banning exploitative employment practices: I passed a bill banning non-compete clauses, no-poach agreements, and shadow non-competes.

Protecting Worker Safety: I passed the Amazon Warehouse Worker Act, requiring companies to disclose quotas and workers' speed data. It also prohibits companies from forcing workers to skip meals, restroom breaks, or prayer periods to meet quotas.

These victories were made possible by our collective efforts—organizing, engaging with voters, and working together to prioritize what's best for our communities. And our work is far from over. If there are issues you're passionate about, I encourage you to reach out. I'm here to listen, collaborate, and find creative solutions together.
