Don Samuels is endorsing Martha Holton Dimic

[question everything]

From an email

Martha and I have known each other for over 20 years. She was the north Minneapolis community prosecutor when I started the PEACE Foundation in 2003. We worked closely together against slumlords to address blighted properties when I was on the city council and she was the deputy city attorney in Minneapolis.

She has been a consistent advocate for police accountability. She has also been clear in her opposition to abolishing the police department. Martha embodies the “both/and” mentality that we need to embrace in Minneapolis and across the country if we are going to advance racial equity by addressing both criminal justice reform and community violence.

1. Unsurprising.

2. I like it that she's been both a judge and a prosecutor, and she actually lives

on the North side and knows the problems of the area. But I like Moriarty too, would be OK with either of them.
