Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm running for Commissioner because we need good government now more than ever-and I'm proud to have retiring Commissioner Jan Callison's endorsement in this race. With a $2.5 billion budget that touches the lives of 1 in 5 Minnesotans, our next Commissioner needs to have a proven track record of improving people's lives.

As Vice-Chair of the Hopkins School Board, I've led our district through the COVID-19 crisis, safely educating and feeding thousands of students while stabilizing a $100 million budget. I served in the Obama Administration at USAID, bringing diverse stakeholders together-from the private sector to faith-based and civil society groups-to fight global hunger. As your next Commissioner I'll put these values, experiences, and skills to work for you.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• We need good government now more than ever.
• We need smart upstream investments in healthcare, housing, transportation and public safety.
• Let's take bold, resilient action on climate change.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As the Vice-Chair of the Hopkins School Board, and spouse of a nurse practitioner, our family feels the weight of the COVID-19 crisis every day. We know folks are hurting and worried about what's next. As your next Commissioner, I'll keep our public health system strong, help families struggling to make ends meet, continue grants for small businesses hurt by the pandemic, and protect our elections from those trying to sow chaos, division and fear.
