I’m running because:

● Every family deserves affordable, stable housing
● Residents deserve accessible human services
● Public safety is not optional in our communities
● Fraud, mismanagement, and waste have created distrust in our institutions
● HCMC must continue operating without endless tax levies on residents

How I Will Lead

If elected, I will serve District 3 with transparency, realism, and fairness. That means:
● Showing up consistently in every neighborhood — quarterly meetings, youth-specific discussions, and listening sessions.
● Introducing resolutions to launch a 100-day countywide fraud-risk review upon taking office.
● Demanding urgent housing solutions, permit streamlining, and approvals; leverage vacant spaces as shelters.
● Going to St. Paul to lobby legislators on cost-sharing for HCMC funding so not only District 3 residents foot the bill.
● Creating a Unified Family Assistance Hub, reducing confusion and increasing service accessibility for all residents.
● Setting a date for the closure of HERC (before 2040) within my first 100 days.
● Expecting that the Sheriff Department and all agencies stay within their allocated budget.

My Message to Voters

I value public service because I have done it on the SLP School Board, the Police Advisory Committee, and as an organizer. I believe District 3 deserves leadership that is visible, present, connected, and focused on the lives of working families. That is why I’m running for Hennepin County Commissioner. The status quo has left us with HCMC in crisis, fraud concerns, housing out of reach for many, and too many excuses instead of solutions.

My goal is simple: expand opportunity & improve quality of life for everyone in District 3. And I won’t need more than a decade in office to do it.

Details on More Priorities

Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC)

● It is absolutely unacceptable for District 3 to go another term while elected leaders hedge, deflect, and delay setting a hard deadline for closing HERC.

● As an engineer, I acknowledge that retiring any piece of major infrastructure is difficult. But sometimes, hard decisions need to be made. As commissioner, within 100 days of taking office, I’ll collaborate with my colleagues to introduce a resolution for the full closure of HERC — and do everything in my power to ensure the date is before 2040.

Building a Unified Family Assistance Hub

● One of the top priorities residents have told me about is ensuring county services are administered correctly, fairly, and continuously.
● I will introduce resolutions to establish a physical and virtual Assistance Hub, integrating all county human service programs in one space — a one-stop shop increasing accessibility, reducing bureaucratic confusion, and ensuring everyone gets the support they need.
● This will not require raising taxes. Building a Unified Family Assistance Hub would consolidate existing county service programs into both a physical and digital space, not create new ones. Construction or software maintenance would be the primary costs; major tax levies would not occur to support this project.
