Luther Ranheim completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ranheim's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Minneapolis residents want and deserve a holistic and comprehensive public safety system. This must include alternative responses to armed police, funding for mental health counselors, violence interruption organizations, chemical dependency counselors, and an increased 911 Call Center staff. Holistic public safety also includes constitutional policing. Minneapolis residents pay their tax dollars to have close, responsive and timely public safety services. We deserve a public safety presence in South Minneapolis. In office, I plan to build consensus around moving towards a community safety hub model for every Minneapolis Community and Ward.
- Everyone deserves a roof over their head for them and their family. We need to build more affordable housing. Rent Control -- especially at 3% with no exceptions -- would harm those that it intends to help, by halting the development of affordable housing in Minneapolis. We must invest in the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, expand Safe Homes/Stable Schools, invest in Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Preservation and build affordable and deeply affordable housing for every resident in Minneapolis.
- Our city's public infrastructure is failing because we are not investing enough in maintaining and strengthening our roads, water pipes and sewer systems. We just had the worst pothole season in memory, our Parkways are severely underfunded, we have sinkholes from collapsing pipes, and our water mains are cleaned and relined every 107 years. Only the city can tend to our basic infrastructure needs. We must refocus our efforts and dollars to maintaining and strengthening our public works infrastructure, which only the city can fix.
