After two weeks away to attend my mother’s funeral, I am returning to Minneapolis and to our campaign more determined than ever to fight for a city that cares for all of us. Thank you for giving me the grace and space to step away to tend to my family and my grief. 1/

I hope that you see yourself reflected in these priorities – so much of what we’ve developed comes directly from you and the vision for our city that you all have shared with me over the course my campaign. We deserve better, and together, we can do better.

When returned to my campaign with a new vision for this race, I knew I needed to spend time reflecting on what we need to build the city we deserve. After working with my team to dream, I’m so excited to be able to re-share my policy priorities with you.

SEIU knows what it takes to build coalitions to protect worker power. I’m thrilled to be in coalition with progressive unions and candidates who know that workers deserve better leadership in the Mayor's office.

Thank you, @seiumn for your second-choice endorsement for Mayor! You had many options in this race and I feel honored to be one of only two candidates to earn any kind of endorsement.

You couldn't ask for a better day for Taste of Minnesota! It was great to spend a little time with so many people in Downtown – and I can't recommend the chicken skewers enough!
