1. Public safety for the residents of District 41. I believe the perception and sense of safety has decreased over the past decade and I'll work with local elected officials to ensure that it is a major focus
2. Lower property taxes and lower specials. Our local governmental entities need to be wise in how they spend their monies and how they tax
3. Our education system needs to return to the basics and increased STEM classes along with ensuring parental input and oversight
1. Continue to ensure that pharmaceutical costs are reduced and oversight is maintained
2. Encourage more participation in HSAs for employees
3. Further support and enhance requirements for insurance companies' prior authorization decisions to be timely and responsive as well as ensure that patient co-pays are reflected in their out of pocket obligations
1. Look to continue encouraging developers to look at "in-fill" parcels for homes that are affordable
2. Offer first time buyers additional assistance from low interest/zero interest loans
3. With the increase in aging, our senior living options will need to increase and would look to work with many of the assisted living companies to determine options for increased availability and affordability
1. I believe there is a "middle ground" that can be arrived at with some type of voucher program that allows parents to choose a non-public option but keeps the majority of the state funding going to the local school district.
I believe the current methods are working as desired and would not recommend any additional changes
I am very much in favor of more states rights and less oversight from Washington DC
Our leaders in our state capital, our local county and city halls and our school board members know the most when looking at what's best for our citizens and their families

As a pediatrician my priority is healthy kids and communities.
1. Use common sense and science to prevent disease and injuries
2. Reduce barriers to mental health care and prevent suicide
3. Prioritize public education so that our teachers and students have what they need to succeed, including universal school meals.
4. Invest in a healthy economy so the next generation can enter the work force, learn a trade or go to college and start a family with affordable housing and childcare.
I would protect and expand Medicare and CHIP funding. Increase access to healthcare through recruiting and retaining North Dakotans to work in our state. Enhancing preventative primary care to reduce the burden of chronic diseases is an investment that pays off in the long run. And we need to protect our rural critical access hospitals and local clinics.
Affordable housing is a key to growing the economy, recruiting and retaining the next generation of North Dakotans. Supporting low income housing tax credits, building public and private partnerships to preserve naturally occurring affordable housing, and encouraging more multi-unit housing in range of 2-9 households per unit.
Public money should be spent on public education. We all benefit from public education like we all benefit from public fire and police departments. Families can certainly choose a private option for education, just like they could theoretically choose a private option for fire protection or home security. North Dakotans should not have to subsidize someone choosing a private fire or police department at the expense of the public good, just like they shouldn't for private education.
Voting is our most fundamental right as an American. North Dakota's current system without pre-registration decreases barriers to voting. Early voting (in-person or via mail) also allows our busy families or workers who don't work 9-5 or those who can't easily get time off to vote, the opportunity to participate in democracy.
To quote the Declaration of Independence, there are "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Exercising states' right should not infringe on our universal rights as Americans. I'll share a personal example. When my parents were married in 1966 some states viewed their interracial marriage as illegal. To me, this is a clear instance from our recent past of an unjust imbalance between states' rights and constitutional rights.
