On the Issues...

I know Minnesotans work too hard to see their tax dollars lost to fraud, waste, and abuse. I will push for strict oversight, tough penalties, and real accountability so state programs actually serve the people they’re meant to help.

 I will fight to reduce red tape, lower the tax burden, and create a stable environment where local businesses and farms can grow and thrive.

I hear every day from families and retirees who are being squeezed by rising costs, higher taxes, and fee increases at every turn. I will support policies that ease the pressure on family budgets and keep more of your paycheck in your pocket, not in St. Paul.

I support the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for self-defense, hunting, and sport. I will oppose efforts that punish responsible gun owners instead of focusing on criminals.

I believe in the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death. I will support policies that protect the most vulnerable and promote compassion, support, and real options for families.

As a parent, I believe parents deserve a strong voice in their children’s education, and students deserve safe schools that focus on core academics, not politics. I will back policies that empower parents, respect local control, and ensure education dollars reach the classroom.

I will stand for policies that support our police, first responders and veterans. We need to prioritize victims over criminals, and ensure our justice system protects the people who follow the law, not those who break it.
