Who is Susan Pha?
Since serving on the Brooklyn Park City Council for the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly with residents, our other council members, city staff, community stakeholders, and organizations. I’m proud of the work we have accomplished together.
As your next State Senator I will continue to uplift your voices to the table and work hard toward innovative solutions that will create a place where we all can thrive, not just survive. We have to build a better tomorrow and that is why I am running for the State Senate.
Together we have:

- Created over 1000+ new jobs in our city with livable wages
- Grown our tax base with commercial development and reduced our resident’s tax burden
- Successfully attained millions of dollars in state and federal funds for transportation and infrastructure investment in our city
- Increased the diversity of our housing stock, supported naturally occurring affordable housing, and added new developments of senior housing in our city
- Improved community and police relations and created safer neighborhoods
- Partnered with local businesses to offer paid summer internships and create more employment opportunities for our youth
- Added sustainable youth programming and expanded access to youth sports
- Revitalized our parks, increased trails and connections, and leveraged outside funding and grants to invest in our park system
A few things so you can get to know me…
