Politician

We stand with our Muslim community as President Trump singles them out for attack and unfairly-targeted policy.

I have people I talk to on a regular basis about what's going on in my life, what am I struggling with, and where my faith is at.

I thank the officers of the Minneapolis Police Department, who work hard every day to help people in their most vulnerable moments, keep our communities safe, and build relationships and trust with the public.

We need to be able to live in the city without a car; we need to be able to get around. The transit system has to be strong and work for everyone.

What I like to do is have an opportunity to talk with people in neighborhoods and answer their questions one-on-one. I think it's one of the places I have greatest strength.

The nexus of Donald Trump's hateful behaviors and policies around Muslim people and immigrants comes together right here in Minneapolis. I knew immediately that the people I represent were going to be very, very scared and very, very worried for their safety.

There are some folks at the teacher's union who aren't big fans of mine, in part, because I have been open and want to make sure everybody is sitting at the table as we talk about education.

We can only have true public safety with public trust.

My mother's first career was physical therapy, her second was writer, and her third career was president of an organic fertilizer company. And she's driven a tank.

I think our cities' deteriorating infrastructure is a silent crisis.

I know there are those in the community who, rather than have us invest more in policing, even for community policing, instead want us to disinvest in the police department. We need a police department. We are going to have a police department.

If Donald Trump wants to harm cities and the people who call them home, he'll have to come through me.

When people are thriving, the city is thriving.

I don't have cable. I don't have a DVR.

My first and foremost consideration is the safety of the people of the city of Minneapolis. And my first and foremost consideration is making sure that people can also express their constitutional rights peaceably.

I am very clear with people that I am willing and able to make tough choices, and I will do that.

I am very aware that I married up, and I'm lucky for it every day.

Too often when we talk about racial or economic justice, we white people do not see ourselves in the picture. We feel like it's all well and good for other people to do better, but not at our expense, and it won't benefit us.

When Trump's cronies are the people attacking you, you know you've done something right.

Human-induced climate change is a scientific reality, and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.
