Statement of Purpose for the People

Minneapolis residents,

I am running for State Senate not to control this election with millions of dollars, but because I believe in the strength of the people the workers, the families, the communities that truly define this city. This campaign is not about me, it’s about you. It’s about the people who wake up every day and make this city run. Together, we can build a Minneapolis that works for everyone.

I understand the struggles many of us face. The rising costs, the job insecurities, the daily economic pressures we’re all feeling it. That’s exactly why I’m running: because I have lived these struggles. I know what it’s like to fight to make ends meet. I am committed to serving every corner of Minneapolis, especially the hardworking families who often feel ignored by those in power. My vision for this city is clear: a place where every voice counts, where the power lies in the hands of the people, not the elite few.

Together, we can make Minneapolis a city that works for all of us. Let’s put power back where it belongs in our communities, in our homes, and in our hands. Minneapolis thrives when we all thrive !
