In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“It is the honor of my life to serve you in the People's House. We will keep fighting back against this callous administration-and fighting for what people deserve: affordable lives, universal healthcare, an end to ICE, and a democracy that belongs to all of us, not billionaires.”
“And I've delivered: bringing home over $65 million for our communities, helping thousands of constituents through casework, and hosting nearly 125 town halls and roundtables-because your voice matters.”
“I've never been afraid to take on Donald Trump, extremism, and the rise of fascism-and I never will be. Not when immigrants are targeted. Not when children are hungry. Not when people are losing access to healthcare. Not when our democracy is at stake.”
“I am incredibly honored to earn the DFL endorsement. People say a lot of things about Minnesota, but one thing that they should be saying is how fierce and strong we are. I came to Minnesota as a young refugee and saw something special: a community that shows up, takes care of one another, and never turns its back on those in need. Right now, powerful forces are trying to divide us, silence us, and strip away our rights. They want fear to win. But here in the Fifth District, we don't back down.”
