Every single Minnesotan has the right to a good job, adequate shelter, and economic security. Justice has seen patients of his who are forced to work 80+ hours a week just to make ends meet. Ensuring economic stability for all is critical to the well-being of our state. As a resident physician, Justice was on the initial organizing committee to start the unionization process for all of the University of Minnesota resident and fellow physicians.
Justice’s Economic, Housing, and Labor Priorities:
Protect, support, and encourage the right to unionize for all
Support a $15 minimum wage
Passage of the Minnesota Health Plan, which will take the economic burden off of both large and small businesses to provide health coverage to their employees, allowing them to raise wages
Tackle the housing crisis by enacting statewide zoning reform to make the “Missing Middle” more possible, passing single stair legislation, and providing dedicated bonds for affordable housing
Create a fair tax system where everyone pays their fair share
Equal pay for equal work
Expand the Child-Tax credit
Partner with small businesses to foster growth, development, and long-term success
Protect our seniors’ ability to retire
Fight for safe working conditions so all employees are free of discrimination and sexual harassment
Push for affordable childcare – because nobody should be forced to choose between returning to work or needing to stay home for their family
Ensure that Minnesotans have access to affordable housing and rental assistance programs
