Political platform statement
Why I am running for this office: I am running for City Council in Ward 2 of Minneapolis to be a voice for working people and bring social movements into City Hall. Minneapolis has some of the grossest racial and economic disparities in the country. These disparities are most clearly exemplified at the local level in our housing crisis, which displaced our neighbors in tents along Highway 55 and in our parks in Ward 2, and the systemic racism that resulted in the murder of George Floyd and subsequent uprising. For decades, our local leadership has failed to enact the bold changes required to eliminate these inequities, and meanwhile grassroots social movements have worked tirelessly to make Minneapolis a more equitable and just place. As a council member I will bring the energy and demands of those movements into City Hall to fight for the policies we so desperately need, such as rent control, community safety beyond policing, and affordable housing.
