The Senate just passed SF3071 authored by Senator Clare Oumou Verbeten which establishes plain language standards for written drivers exams, reducing barriers from unnecessarily complex or confusing language.
Proud of my sister Huldah for House for such a strong showing at the 38A convention.
On to the primary!
Lots of work being done by Senator Clare Oumou Verbeten & Mary K Kunesh in the birth justice space. Very proud of our GreenLight Fund SAC member, Senator Verbeten for confronting racial disparities in birthing. #BMHW24 #BlackMaternalHealth

So proud to represent District 66 alongside these two powerhouses. Leigh Finke and Athena Hollins 🔥 are officially DFL endorsed. I’m ready to knock doors and re-elect them to the State House!
Yesterday, I presented a bill to provide Arts & Culture Heritage Funding to Art from the Inside. Art From the Inside MN gives incarcerated artists a voice through community-centered exhibitions of their art.
Check out their 2024 exhibition “Justice Re-Formed” in Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office!
Thank you Clare Oumou Verbeten for being a trailblazer for women of color and LGBTQIA+ folks at the legislature! I promise to continue uplifting our community when elected
In 2022, Senator Clare Oumou Verbeten became one of the first Black women to be elected to the Minnesota Senate. Now, she just made history again, becoming the first Black woman to ever serve as Assistant Leader in the chamber! bit.ly/3TzMAww
Congratulations on making history in your new role, Senator Clare Oumou Verbeten!
I am so excited for you to serve as the new Assistant Leader in the Minnesota Senate and help the chamber continue to make unparalleled progress for the people of the state. hoodline.com/2024/03/senato…
Every Minnesotan deserves stable housing. That’s why Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, Kaohly Vang Her and I are working hard to end discrimination against those who use public assistance to pay for rent. This is a racial and disability justice issue. It’s time to pass the Housing Stability Act.
Last weekend, Sandy Pappas, Erin Murphy, Rep Finke and I attended FilmNorth’s open house. We secured $2 million in the bonding bill for their new facility in District 66 that will support independent filmmakers and empower artists to tell their stories.
Spent the morning meeting with Roseville Area Schools district leaders to discuss their 2024 legislative priorities.
It’s such an honor to advocate in the legislature for a school district that’s done so much to me and my family #ChooseRoseville 🤍🖤
Yesterday, I joined Sen. Bonnie Westlin and Rep Athena Hollins 🔥 at the Minnesota Lavender Bar Association’s 23rd Annual Conference. We spoke on the legislative panel about the work we’re doing to protect Queer communities in Minnesota. 🌈
Last night, I spoke at Minnesota Justice Research Center’s 2024 legislative preview panel about the work ahead to advance racial justice and reform our criminal legal system. I look forward to championing the bills in the Justice for All agenda this session!
