Mother, Scientist, Business Owner, Immigrant, Advocate. Running to create a better future for St. Paul.
St. Paul is all about community ❤️. I was humbled to meet Bob Hindel & Emilia Godinez, who show how gentle power and talent can heal. Instead of platitudes, they organized a 🎶 fundraising concert for Annunciation victims. That’s the spirit that makes our city strong 💪✨

The historic Yan Chen campaign is rolling. Why? Because she’s got a plan. 💡

✈️ Sent my daughter off to San Francisco to see her brother—too bad I’m stuck here instead of tagging along. Guess I’ll just live the trip through their selfies! 😂🌉💕

Thanking Paul Langenfeld for the wonderful Independence Day Party he held in Saint Paul yesterday, and the amazing people he serves! Leaders like Paul and his friends are what makes Saint Paul the beautiful community it is. #saintpaul

Today I joined neighbors at Carty Park to help install a new playground—an investment in our future and the lives of the children who will grow up here in Saint Paul. 💪🏽🌳

At the Capitol, I saw hope. The #No Kings rally reminded me why I’m running for office. America taught me the meaning of freedom—and together, we will not let autocracy take root. Let’s unite in our diversity for the common good. 🇺🇸❤️🤝

There was another shooting near University & Arundel—right between Wolter Brothers Liquors and the tobacco shop. This one hit close to home. I was just there 20 minutes before, telling a friend how unsafe it felt. We cannot keep letting this happen.
