no forced pregnancy in Hennepin County

John – The decision today in the Dobbs case will earn a place in history among the worst decisions our Supreme Court has ever handed down. It eliminates women's reproductive rights that were affirmed in Roe v. Wade and codifies the extreme beliefs of a minority of our country. Their goal is sim…

early voting

John - Early voting begins today, and it is critical that you make your voice heard at the ballot box -- especially in the Hennepin County Attorney's race. The County Attorney needs to address crime and pursue justice for everyone in our county. But we cannot create safer communities or more ju…

recruit better police

John - The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Minneapolis must employ a minimum of 731 officers to serve its police department. We must go about this the right way, it could be an opportunity. I’ve spoken with and listened to community members and local leaders about the issues facing…

Juneteenth

John - Today, we acknowledge and celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a significant day for the African American community, commemorating the freedom of the last remaining group of enslaved African Americans in Galveston, TX, on June 19, 1865. This is not just a national holiday; it is not just …

don’t dismiss community members

John - There are many people in our county who, unfortunately, see crime in their neighborhoods every day. Among those people are many dedicated community members who have formed or joined groups and organizations aimed at violence prevention, restorative justice, generational healing and de-esc…

carjackings must stop

John – Last night, a 16-year-old and her younger sister were carjacked at gunpoint in Golden Valley. No one that young should experience the fear of being held at gunpoint. Guns and violent crime aren't just a Minneapolis problem. Every community in Hennepin County is affected and last night is…

safer together

John – We must address rising crime and create the kind of public safety system that will serve everyone in our community. In the coming weeks, I plan to speak extensively about this. I started laying out my plans in the legislature. I believe that high-quality, community-oriented policing must…

everyone should be talking about this

John – We are at a crossroad where public safety is concerned, and at the center of it is the question of what kind of leadership we need. Violence is on the rise and people are feeling less secure at home, out on the streets, and in their neighborhoods. This weekend alone, several people were …

Gun Violence Awareness Weekend

John – My team and I will #WearOrange today to demand a future free from gun violence. I hope you'll join us and millions across the country. We cannot continue with the level of gun violence we are experiencing--from our own communities to the horrific mass shootings nationwide. Our kids shoul…

not letting this go

John – The grief and heartbreak of the last few weeks are still raw for me. Two weeks ago, we all watched in horror as the news broke of a massacre at a grocery store in a predominantly African American neighborhood in Buffalo, NY. Perpetrated by a white supremacist, hate was the motivator, but…

quick question

John – We’re coming up on our first deadline since our race took a drastic turn last week. An anti-choice candidate got in who is more interested in prosecuting women and their doctors than stopping gun violence. We must do everything we can to stop him here and now. That includes making a stron…

need to finish strong

John – We’re counting on you to help us end the month on a strong note. Tonight is our first deadline since an anti-choice extremist got into the race against Ryan. We’re counting on you to help make it clear that there’s no room in this race for someone who is more interested in prosecuting w…

FW: Breaking: New Opponent

John - We wanted to be sure you didn't miss Chris' note. Our newest opponent is dead set on rolling back women's right to choose in Hennepin County. We know that the Supreme Court is about to overturn Roe v. Wade, making all the more important that we don't let an anti-choice GOPer take over the H…

Breaking: New Opponent

Friends - I wanted to share this news with you as soon as I heard it. We've got a new opponent in our race and we've got to stop him in his tracks. Tad Jude, a Republican Attorney General candidate just two weeks ago, has entered our race. And I can't think of a worse time for an anti-abortion,…

we must do more

John - I am heartbroken. Another tragic, preventable shooting - this time taking the lives of 18 children and 3 teachers at a Texas elementary school. My heart aches for the families who dropped their children off Tuesday morning, never expecting that they would not be able to pick them back up.…

building trust is essential to justice

John - There are many important skills a County Attorney must have. At the top of that list is the ability to lead a strong, diverse team dedicated to justice. I will run an office free of harassment and intimidation; an office where all attorneys and staff are encouraged to express their views…

my final week in the legislature

John – My final week in the legislature will be bittersweet. I will be a bit sad to say goodbye to so many great friends and allies, who I’ve worked alongside for more than a decade to make a real difference in the lives of Minnesotans. Thankfully, as County Attorney, I will continue to work wit…

FW: Are you still in this fight?

John – After being soundly defeated last November, the people working to dismantle our public safety system shifted their energy to the County Attorney’s race. They offer no real solutions and criticize anyone who even acknowledges that violent crime is on the rise in Hennepin County. Our opponent…

Are you still in this fight?

John - My campaign is only getting started - the vast majority of Hennepin County has not had an opportunity to weigh in on who they want to be their next County Attorney. In a non-partisan race like this one, we can advance two DFL candidates to November's ballot and with your continued suppor…
