Get you a City Council President who commutes by bike year round and you end up with world class cycling infrastructure.
I wish more elected officials would bike, take public transit, or do anything other than being a single occupant in a motorized vehicle.

Genuine respect for local politicians who bike commute in all seasons, regardless of frequency. ≥ 4 inches of fresh snow today.

This evening was the plaque dedication ceremony in honor of the 21 Edison alumni who died in service during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. I authored a resolution honoring these Edison Heroes that will join these plaques at Edison in honoring the students who gave their lives at such a young age.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.
