Enforce Term limits, Balance state budget for county services to lower levy taxes, focus on on keeping the legacy fund within North Dakota, enforce property rights
If it is possible, I would limit surprise billing, as it stands the state should enforce federal surprise billing protections and add rules on medical debt lawsuits.
We need to fix certain zoning and land-use issues for project development. Second is to have county services passed from property taxes to an overall budget from the state.
I don’t agree with it. I think tax payers shouldn’t have to pay for certain alternatives in education if it doesn’t benefit their children in public school. We need to fix the education system on a state level with more math and reading at early states of public education.
North Dakota has a fair system to vote.
You should show identification to vote. Absentee ballots are okay because not everyone can go to polling places on the voting day.
The government sets the basic foundation of rights and rules for the individual states.
There are many imbalances, but the most basic is immigration and border enforcement, public health, environmental issues, elections/voting, and education.

I want to see the legislature address such basic issues healthcare, education, affordable housing and day care, property tax, corporate tax breaks especially for foreign corporations or those from outside the state, open records, issues our farmers and ranchers are facing such as those resulting from increased costs due to the tariffs and the push for construction of data centers in rural areas, and issues that increasingly affect our daily lives.
Have the legislature expand Medicare and Medicaid. The legislature should also enact measures to attract doctors and nurses to North Dakota, especially rural areas experiencing a decrease in the access good healthcare, especially with respect to rural hospitals. One possibility is to use Legacy Fund money to reduce health care costs and ensure all North Dakota citizens have access to good and affordable healthcare and healthcare facilities.
North Dakota needs more affordable housing for low income families and first-time homeowners. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the younger generation to afford to own a home. One possible solution is for the legislature to offer tax incentives for construction of affordable housing and for the Bank of North Dakota to offer low-interest mortgages for first-time homeowners.
I oppose vouchers for non-public education; public funds should be spent on public schools. Current funding is not sufficient to support public schools and adequate pay for teachers. North Dakota needs to prepare our students, most of whom attend our public schools, • for the future, especially for where the jobs will be. Offering vouchers for non-public education will take away from that need, thereby reducing the ability of public schools to prepare its students for the future.
I support the current voting methods and access to voting in North Dakota. All citizens should have access to voting. I oppose any attempt by the President or Congress to limit the ability of eligible citizens to vote. Article I of the Constitution leaves the decisions of time, places, and manner of holding elections up to the states. The the Administration and Congress need to respect the right of citizens to free and fair elections.
I believe in the 10th amendment to the Constitution: The powers not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited by the Constitution, are reserved to the States. Cutting federal programs and the associated workforce that serve the people has created a reverse imbalance. If those programs are to continue, such as Medicaid, states must decide whether to assume them. If not, citizens suffer. Since the federal government no longer supports them, states are left holding the bag.

My stated priorities are low tax rates, enhancing educational opportunities, and expanding energy development and careers. A significant portion of my professional life has been devoted to these areas. I'll add that my interests and ability to contribute extend far beyond these areas. I'm in this race to help legislate all of the issues important to District 33 and the State of North Dakota.
Although broad healthcare costs are primarily a Federal issue, there are a few key things that the legislature can do to lower healthcare costs or reduce cost increases. The biggest immediate initiative is the management of $200 million Federal rural healthcare grant. I was supportive of using these funds to expand rural heath care both in facility and telehealth.
The tools that are available to the state legislature begin with passing bills that support economic opportunities and lower taxes for residents. These actions help combat the inflationary pressures that are out of our control. More efficient zoning and permitting process support affordability as well. Programs to incentivize or even finance entry level housing construction should be considered as well.
I am generally not in favor of many of the previously proposed school voucher programs. I fully support a families right to choose how and where they educate their children, but the reality is that most of the members of our future generation will be educated in the public school system and it is therefore society's responsibility to fund those programs appropriately.
I believe that the current voting methods are largely adequate. To me this does not seem to be a major issue in District 33 or the state in general. I have no recommended changes to the voting methods available in the state, but would certainly be willing to listen to the concerns of citizens.
I wholeheartedly believe in the principle that problems are generally best solved at the lowest possible level of government. Although admittedly, this principal breaks down in some instances. Under the previous administration the federal government over-extended it's authority in several spaces including energy, education, healthcare, and others. I am encouraged by the current administrations progress in reversing this trend.

I believe that ND has good voting regulations that safeguard the integrity of elections.
I believe that early voting and availability of mail in ballots is too long a period and creates hardship for those candidates ruining for election.
We need to protect the sovereignty of the states, as long as that sovereignty doesn’t interfere with the original federal constitution and bill of rights
