The Senate's ICE Accountability Package: Ron is the chief architect of the Senate's response to federal immigration overreach: legislation protecting schools, childcare centers, hospitals, and courthouses from unlawful immigration enforcement.

Defending Constitutional Rights: His package strengthens government accountability and defends the constitutional rights of every Minnesotan, because no family should live in fear of retaliation from Washington.

Fighting Back for Minnesota: Ron believes immigrant communities make Minnesota stronger, and he'll keep standing up to the Trump administration's campaign of retaliation against our state.

Ron Latz authored Minnesota's extreme risk protection law and championed universal background checks. In 2026, he helped lead the most ambitious gun violence prevention effort in state history: banning assault weapons, restricting high-capacity magazines, eliminating untraceable ghost guns, and investing $20 million directly into school security.

Combating Hate & Discrimination: Ron passed Minnesota's bias crime penalty enhancement law and expanded hate crime protections to cover ethnicity, gender, gender identity, and gender expression. He voted to ban conversion therapy to protect LGBTQ+ youth and co-authored the CROWN Act protecting Black Minnesotans from discrimination based on natural hair.

Reforming Criminal Justice: Ron authored Minnesota's "Ban the Box" law, landmark drug sentencing reform, compensation for the wrongfully convicted, and re-entry initiatives that reduce recidivism and strengthen public safety, and advocated for police reform (especially use-of-force standards) and accountability measures following the murder of George Floyd. He continues to fund the Philando Castile law enforcement training fund. 

Holding the Powerful Accountable: From the Child Victims Act giving abuse victims the right to sue, to protections against fraud (MN False Claims Act and independent Office of Inspector General) and predatory practices (Car Buyers’ Bill of Rights, debt collection reform and banning concert ticket price gouging), Ron has delivered fairness and transparency for everyday Minnesotans.

Paid Family & Medical Leave: Ron fought to pass PFML so workers can care for a new child, an aging parent, or their own health without sacrificing a paycheck.

Putting Money Back in Families' Pockets: Ron helped deliver universal school meals so no student learns hungry, earned sick and safe time so no worker chooses between health and a job, and an expanded Child Tax Credit for working families.

Housing & Transit You Can Afford: From championing the $15 minimum wage to leading on the Southwest Light Rail and affordable housing investments, Ron is building a state where families can put down roots and thrive.

Building More Homes: Minnesota is short more than 100,000 units of housing, and Ron knows supply is the root cause of the affordability crisis. He supported the historic $1 billion housing investment, including $200 million for the Housing Infrastructure Program and $95 million for the Challenge Program, Minnesota's most flexible tools for building affordable rental and single-family homes.

Expanding Rental Assistance and Section 8: Ron authored a plan to strengthen the Housing Choice Voucher program by cutting red tape, fast-tracking inspections, and creating incentives like signing bonuses, proven approaches that get more families into homes. He also supports growing Minnesota's new Bring It Home rental assistance program and is calling on Congress to reform and fully fund the federal voucher program, which currently reaches fewer than one in four eligible families.

Opening Doors to Homeownership: Ron supported $200 million for two first-generation homebuyer programs offering down payment assistance of up to $35,000, helping break down the barriers behind Minnesota's racial homeownership gap so more families can build generational wealth.

Preventing Homelessness: With family homelessness at an all-time high, Ron backs strong investment in the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program, Homework Starts with Home for families with young children, and the Bridges program for Minnesotans with mental illness, keeping seniors and families stably housed.
