Expand all | Collapse all

I retired from the St. Paul Police Department after 28+ years as a street cop, almost all on the east side of the city where I grew up. I was a firearms instructor, crisis intervention coach, and earned several awards, including Medal of Valor and St. Paul Police Officer of the Year.

I have lived in Afton for 32 years, where I purchased 25 acres and restored it to native tall grass prairie and woods. I have served my city for the past 10 years on its planning commission and city council. I'm in my second term on the council, running unopposed in 2022.

My mother and her family survived the Dachau concentration camp and years as slave laborers. My father and his family were forcibly removed from Poland to a gulag in northern Russia. Theirs is a long, winding horror story that brought them to Minnesota as refugees seeking a better life—and American democracy. Their story makes me passionate about preserving our fundamental freedoms and protecting our democracy.
  • Serving and protecting the public has been my life's work. As a cop with decades of street experience, I learned public safety requires a comprehensive approach. That includes decreasing poverty, more affordable housing and improving workforce development. It means stopping the gun violence epidemic with common-sense laws that responsible gun owners agree with. It includes strong public schools and better interventions with juvenile offenders - not just returning them to the streets. True public safety requires much better healthcare access and help for mental health and substance abuse. Finally, we must fully staff up our police depts and support cops with excellent ongoing training and compensation that reflects their importance.
  • As a twice-elected Afton City Council member, my job is to represent my neighbors and our city, regardless of political party. I'm a Democrat representing a more Republican-voting area of my city, and last time I ran unopposed. Good government promotes quality of life, shared community values, public safety, and maintaining roads and local infrastructure. It’s about what unites a community and its residents. I believe the Minnesota House of Representatives is the closest thing to that kind of service at the state level—it’s why it’s called the People’s House.
  • We must make sure Minnesota's economic strength and quality of life are fairly shared. That means not going back to when more kids were hungry at school, more young adults couldn't afford college, child care was more unaffordable, and more families risked losing their homes and incomes if someone got sick and needed care. We have to build on the progress made on affordable healthcare access and lower prescription drug costs. It also means we must clean up our water and preserve our environment by moving forward with clean energy, 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040, and the economic opportunities clean energy provides.
Public safety, common-sense gun violence prevention, economic fairness, restoring our environment, cleaning our water supply, protecting fundamental human rights and our democracy as a whole. Safequarding the freedom to be who you are, to love who you love, and to make your own healthcare decisions without government interference.
Fidelity to making decisions based on facts, belief in the common good, and adherence to the rule of law applying to everyone.
I usually work harder than people imagine possible, as in singlehandedly restoring 25 acres of farm to woodland and prairie. I respond promptly when I'm called about problems, regardless of political persuasion, and I try to resolve problems using facts, law and what is best for the most people. I'm persistent, as in resolving issues that have taken years to fix in my city. I'm extremely frugal, both personally and with public dollars.
Collaborative partnership throughout the major bill development process is ideal. At the very least, there needs to be open ongoing communication from start to finish so both government branches understand expectations and priorities.
Yes.
Yes. The only way to pass laws is to work with other legislators and support each other's shared priorities. Trust is essential in politics and can result in meaningful compromise that moves legislation along. Trust comes from building relationships with legislators who are open-minded, willing to have authentic discussions, and who do what they say they will do.
Senator Amy Klobuchar. She works extremely hard, finds common ground, keeps in touch with her constituents, and gets a lot of bipartisan legislation passed while not sacrificing her fundamental values.
Not at this point. I never saw myself running for elected office, but did so at the strong urging of people in my community.
Before I ever ran for local office, I remember attending a city council meeting as a citizen concerned about a controversial issue. I heard one of the women standing in the room mutter that it didn't matter what she said because nobody on the council cared. When I was elected to the city council, I never forgot her comment. I respond to my constituents quickly and sincerely listen to them, even when I disagree.
No, this is an executive function. If power is poorly executed, it is much easier for the public to hold the executive accountable. Plus, in an emergency, decisions need to be made quickly, and the legislative process is generally not quick.
Women Winning, DFL Environmental Caucus, LPAC, AFSCME 5, EMILY's List, Pro-Choice MN, Climate Cabinet, MN AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, North Central States Carpenters Union, Education MN, Progressive Turnout Project, Boundary Waters Action Fund, Friends of the Boundary Waters, MN Nurses Assoc, MN State Council SEIU, Stonewall DFL, MN Police & Peace Officers Assoc, DFL Senior Caucus, IBEW 110, MN Pipe Trades, Teamsters 32, Intl Union of Operating Engineers 49, Conservation MN Voter Center, National Association of Social Workers MN Chapter, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, Protect MN, MN Farmers Union PAC.

Constituents need to know if and when their elected representatives have any conflicts of interest that may impact how they vote. That makes financial transparency and government accountability extremely important.
