Hi.
I’m brion.
Born and raised in the Northeast Metro, Brion was raised in a household where the values of community service and sacrifice for the common good were central tenets of life.
She spent 20 years serving our neighbors with developmental disabilities. For a decade, Brion was responsible for billing government-funded services with an impeccable audit record, ensuring every taxpayer dollar went directly to supporting our vulnerable neighbors. This work drives Brion's passion to serve on the Human Services Policy Committee, where they passed bills to further independence and access to community resources while putting a stop to fraud.
In 2026, Brion was a top negotiator when critical human services and fraud-related legislation was hanging in the balance.
They got the job done.
A Journey through Public Safety
Service to community called to Brion, and she wanted to do something more to help people directly. While working full-time at Northeast Residence, they started classes at Century College, finishing with an Associate's degree in Investigative Sciences for Law Enforcement with a Certificate in Investigations and a 4.0 GPA.
Brion then joined the White Bear Lake Police Department as a Volunteer Police Reserve Officer. They rose to the rank of Reserve Sergeant, responsible for local event coordination and training other reserve officers. She ensured Police Reserve presence at events in White Bear Lake including Marketfest, the Manitou Days Grand Parade, Polar Plunge, and many more. During this time she was pursuing her Bachelor's Degree at Concordia University.
As a Police Reserve Sergeant, Brion enjoyed making connections with the community, helping people in times of need, and, eventually, answering calls as a 911 dispatcher. Brion was a calm voice during times of crisis.
In 2018, Brion completed their Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, with a 4.0 GPA. She then joined the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office as a Sheriff’s Deputy. Brion ended their career in public safety voluntarily in May 2018 after enduring Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from witnessing gun violence as a licensed police officer.
These experiences fuel Brion’s passion to reduce gun violence, hold ICE accountable, and make sure public safety is delivered the way YOU need it, since you pay for it.
Since serving in the legislature, Brion put their public safety experience to work by prohibiting “No-Knock” warrants, strengthening background checks on police officers, protecting judges from doxxing, and working toward a shared sense of safety in our communities. No person should ever fear someone meant to protect them, and Brion is determined to make public safety work for you.
Brion resumed their career in the nonprofit health & human services field as a Human Resources professional. She became a Society for Human Resources Management Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and completed the Northeast Metro Young Professionals Program in 2021 through the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC). They also currently serve on the board of Northeast Youth and Family Services.
As a long-time resident of the Northeast Metro, Brion has searched for more ways to become involved with the community. While living in Vadnais Heights, she joined the Vadnais Heights for Change community group, advocating to establish a Human Rights Commission in Vadnais Heights. While City leadership eventually did not support this commission, human rights are still central to how Brion centers conversations of human dignity and individual rights in our politics.
Brion knew they could further serve their community by advocating for community safety and making our neighbor’s lives easier. In March 2022, Brion made the bold decision to run for the MN House of Representatives to represent House District 36B at the State Capitol, earning the community’s support the election that November. Brion has now represented the district for four years. In this role, they serve currently serve on the Human Services, Public Safety, and Judiciary committees. She is also an Assistant Floor Leader for the House DFL Caucus, ensuring the team always puts its best foot forward when making decisions. District 36B includes Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Birchwood Village and parts of White Bear Township.
