Local leaders are standing up—no longer accepting excuses and inaction when it comes to addressing the gun violence epidemic. Together, we’re advancing local ordinances that protect our residents. The safety of our children, families, and neighborhoods is not up for debate.

We treat every non-fatal shooting in Saint Paul with the same urgency as a homicide. We’re solving more cases, cutting crime by double digits, and producing a record-low homicide rate—proving this action-driven approach creates safer outcomes.

A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

Saint Paul resides on the ancestral lands of the Dakota and Ojibwe. It is known as Imníža Ska, or White Cliffs, and is part of Mni Sota Makoce—the land where the waters reflect the clouds. Recognizing Indigenous names honors their heritage, but true respect demands action. (1/2)

City employees don't work for the president, we work for the people who live here. My full statement on the U.S. Department of Justice's attack on Saint Paul's separation ordinance:

Thank you, @GovTimWalz!
I’m asking Republicans to hold a public vote on banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, because that’s what the majority of Minnesotans want to see.

St. Paul Regional Water’s new McCarron’s Treatment Plant: A $250 million design-build investment in 14 cities and your body, which is probably composed of more than 50% Mississippi River. That’s right — you are half river water. Getting it clean is no casual affair. Mayor

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from withholding critical grant dollars from Saint Paul and 10 other jurisdictions. The court affirmed what we’ve always known: a president cannot hold hostage funding to force compliance with a political agenda.
