State and local governments secured more than $50 billion from pharmaceutical companies that fueled the opioid epidemic to help impacted people. Instead, some police departments used that settlement to buy Flock cameras and other invasive surveillance tech. Our communities deserve better.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Last night, I joined DFLers in Rochester for their annual FDR Dinner. We honored FDR’s legacy of using the government to actually make life better for working people. That’s what being a DFLer is — and that’s what im going to do in the U.S. Senate.

The Trump administration is investing in arresting and forcibly institutionalizing homeless people rather than affordable housing and other known solutions. Tell Congress to get their priorities straight.
Stop President Trump's attacks on homeless people
We all need a safe place to sleep. Yet, facing a surging housing crisis, our government is arresting and forcibly institutionalizing homeless people rather than investing in affordable housing and other known solutions. Congress must intervene to protect unhoused people's rights.
