Meet Peter
Peter is active in public service, progressive campaigns and community organizing – and has been his whole life.
Currently working at the MN Chapter of Sierra Club, Peter has worked on real climate action and environmental justice. He’s led to create new partnerships with faith, labor, and housing organizations working for housing abundance, and worked with Senator Dziedzic on three historic environmental bills she passed.
Peter is passionate about the power of public service to improve people’s lives. His passion has driven him though 16 years at the City of Minneapolis and 5 years working for State Senate Democrats as a writer/researcher, specializing in housing, jobs, energy, community development and transportation.
Peter also worked at an educational theater company teaching social skills including violence prevention, embracing gender equity, combating sexual harassment, and providing accommodations for children with learning challenges.
You don’t need to wonder if Peter is effective. He has a record of success in building coalitions to get real results.
Peter is a proud graduate of the Minneapolis Public Schools. He has lived in Senate District 60 for over 25 years.
Peter and his wife Mandy, a social worker by training who now works in philanthropy, were married in 2011 at Saint Anthony Falls. They are raising two daughters, an eleven-year old and a seven-year old.
Both girls attend Pratt, the local public school, a loving and diverse school that looks and feels like the America we want our country to be. Our older daughter is super excited to join other “big kids” from our neighborhood at Northeast Middle School next year.
