Don Samuels is endorsing Martha Holton Dimic

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.
