Fighting Climate Change
Candidate statement
Candidate positionThe Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to give Congress the power to make laws - not the President. As your Representative, I'll fight to reclaim and defend Congress' power to decide on spending, taxes and tariffs, and when and where America goes to war.

Candidate statement
Candidate positionH.R. 1 - the White House's "BIG" budget bill - extended tax cuts for the super-wealthy. I will vote to repeal billionaires' tax cuts so that everyone pays their fair share - and working families get to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Candidate statement
Candidate positionWe cannot continue with a health care system that is controlled by for-profit insurance companies instead of patients and providers. I will fight for new policies like "Medicare for All" or a public option so that people can get the care they need without fear of going broke.

Candidate statement
Candidate positionThe White House's "BIG" budget bill also slashed funding to social services and imposed strict rules (like work requirements). I will fight to reverse Medicare and Medicaid cuts - and not just restore the lost funding but ensure that these programs are fully funded in order to keep the promises we have made to one another as Americans.

Candidate positionMany Americans don't know that the taxes they pay into Social Security ("FICA" on your pay stub) are capped at incomes over $184,500. I will fight to eliminate the cap on Social Security taxes in order to ensure that wealthy taxpayers are fully contributing to cost of Americans' retirement.

Candidate positionThe Boundary Waters are nothing less than sacred. We do not need or want them to be exploited for mining or other purposes - and certainly not when it benefits foreign companies and foreign markets. I will be a NO on any proposal to remove protections for the BWCA.

Candidate positionThe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has done massive damage to modern medicine with its bizarre policies along with devastating cuts to research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I will fight to impeach HHS Secretary RFK, Jr., clean house of anti-vax and anti-science officials, and revive America's long tradition of leading the world in medical research and innovation.

Candidate positionThe size of the U.S. House of Representatives has been frozen for nearly a century, even as our population has tripled. Expanding the House would create smaller congressional districts, bring representatives closer to the people they serve, and make our government more responsive.

Candidate positionThe United States and Israel have a longstanding relationship dating back to 1947 - but the current Israeli government is completely out of control and is engaged in what can only be described as a genocide against the Palestinian people. I support withholding or restricting aid to Israel until it ends its war of terror in Gaza.

Candidate positionThe federal invasion of Minnesota is an outrage. The reign of terror - and literally, death - must stop NOW. I support efforts to withhold ICE funding, even if it means a shutdown, to force ICE out Minnesota - and in Congress will seek to dismantle ICE so this never happens again.
