Recent successful efforts to secure $199 million for the first year of North Dakota’s Rural Health Transformation Program—a five-year initiative with potential for nearly $1 billion total is the right direction. This targets key drivers of cost: strengthening the rural workforce to reduce shortages, promoting preventive care and healthy lifestyles to lower chronic disease rates, expanding telehealth and mobile services to bring care closer to home, and using data and technology efficiency.
Promotion and revisiting legislation from last sessions HOME (Housing for opportunity, mobility, and empowerment) proposal. The HOME plan gives localities flexible funding and uses buy-in match funding. No top-down mandates—local leaders decide how to best solve their unique housing challenges.
I support choices for schools, accountability measures, and fiscally responsible reforms that enhance the entire K-12 ecosystem without undermining our public schools. Approximately 90% of our students attend public schools. Our focus must be on quality educators, innovation (i .e. career tech opportunities) , parental empowerment, and ensuring every student in District 37 and across North Dakota has access to a high-quality education.
North Dakota’s voting system is among the strongest and most accessible in the nation, striking a balance between ease of voting and election integrity. I support maintaining and strengthening North Dakota’s proven model. I would reject federal overreach on this matter that could undermine this.
The U.S. Constitution establishes a federal system where the national government has enumerated powers, and all other authority is reserved to the states and the people. I support cooperative federalism where the federal government partners with states rather than dictates to them. In the legislature, I will back resolutions and legislation affirming states’ rights, oppose conditional federal funding that erodes local control, and prioritize practical solutions that keep decision-making close.
As a veterinarian & small business owner in western North Dakota, my top priorities are workforce development and healthcare affordability.
I support expanding Career & Technical Education so students connect directly to careers, local employers, and long-term opportunities in our communities.
For healthcare, I'm focused on the people in between — doing everything right, but still can't afford to get sick-Small business owners. Farmers/Ranchers. Self-employed families.
North Dakota's reinsurance investment worked — it stabilized the market. Now we build on it.
First, use Legacy Fund earnings to provide up to $500/month, scaled by income, for North Dakotans ages 55-64 buying their own insurance.
Second, help small businesses, farmers, & self-employed families access marketplace plans and ICHRA tools.
Third, direct the Insurance Department to study bringing real competition into our two-carrier market.
Reinsurance stabilized the floor. Now let's fix the ceiling
ND has a workforce housing crisis. Workers cannot stay in communities where housing costs outpace wages.
My approach is to expand workforce housing financing through the Bank of North Dakota and Housing Incentive Fund, create down-payment pathways for working families, and tie some economic development incentives to local housing commitments.
Housing is economic infrastructure. If we want to attract workers, grow businesses, & keep young families in ND we must make housing attainable again.
I don't support voucher programs that divert public funds away from public schools.
However, I strongly support making publicly funded educational infrastructure accessible to all students, including homeschool & non-public school students. Programs like SWCTE are major public investments in workforce development. Every student who gains skills through them strengthens ND's economy &communities.
Public investments built for workforce and community outcomes should benefit the the broader public
Having served as a ND election official, I have seen firsthand that our system is secure, fair, & accessible.
ND’s unique approach — no voter registration combined with strong voter ID verification — helps balance voter access with election integrity. Voters can cast ballots in person, through early voting where available, or by absentee ballot.
I support maintaining & expanding reasonable voter access while preserving the public trust that makes ND’s election system respected nationally.
ND has a strong tradition of local problem-solving. I believe states should have flexibility to address the unique needs of their residents.
States’ rights must always be balanced w/ individual rights & equal access to opportunity. Whether the issue is healthcare, education, or emerging technologies like AI, government at every level should remain accountable to the people most affected by its decisions.
The goal is practical governance protecting both local control & individual freedom
