  • 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

Susan Pha and Family
AS YOUR SENATOR I WILL STAND STRONG FOR
PUBLIC SAFETY AND IMPROVING POLICE AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Focusing on both public safety and building trust between law enforcement and our communities. Ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and feels safe.

MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE

I strongly believe that everyone deserves access to affordable health care. I will fight to expand quality health care coverage to all families across Minnesota.

LIVABLE WAGES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour and has remained unchanged since 2009 while the cost of shelter, food, clothing, and basic necessities has continually increased every year. People deserve a livable wage. We all should have the power and resources to thrive in a safe and welcoming community.

EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION

Our children deserve a quality education and it starts with giving our schools and teachers the support they need to educate our children.

PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PRESERVING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

I am committed to keeping our air and water clean, strengthening our conservation programs, developing energy-efficient technologies, and utilizing homegrown energy resources.

KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AND ENSURING THAT OUR HOSPITALS AND HEALTH WORKERS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC

I will continue to support vaccine distribution, increase testing capacity, and ensure that our hospitals and health workers have the resources they need to manage patient care during the pandemic.

Everyone deserves to have the power and resources to thrive in a safe and welcoming community.
