We stand with our Somali community and every immigrant community in the wake of increased federal activity in Minneapolis.
We are asking you all to be safe. To support your immigrant neighbors who are fearful. To alert communities when you witness suspicious behavior.

The City Council just took action on the historic Cook house on 18th Ave Ne. We referred the appeal asking to demolish the property back to staff which ensures that no demolition can occur for the next 6 months.

This evening was the plaque dedication ceremony in honor of the 21 Edison alumni who died in service during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. I authored a resolution honoring these Edison Heroes that will join these plaques at Edison in honoring the students who gave their lives at such a young age.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.
