About me
Currently, Erin serves as a Minnesota State Senator and as a Special Projects Advisor at Gender Justice. When she was elected in November 2022, she became one of the first three Black women to be elected to the Minnesota Senate. She is also the first out lesbian in the Minnesota Senate and the first Black mom in the State Senate.
Erin has successfully led initiatives to expand reproductive freedom, protect LGBTQ+ rights, and promote literacy. In particular, Erin’s leadership on reproductive freedom inside and outside of the legislature has been critical to making Minnesota a national leader for abortion access. Erin built UnRestrict Minnesota, the biggest reproductive freedom coalition in the state, into a powerful force in state politics.
