100 Days of Action

As Hennepin County Attorney, I will begin to take action on day one. The first one hundred days will set the course for change at the County Attorney's Office.

My administration will move to protect the most vulnerable among us and make Hennepin County safe for everyone. This is my commitment to the voters of Hennepin County: 100 Days of Action.
