What are your top priorities?
My top priorities are affordable housing by way of property tax relief, government efficiency and supporting Grand Forks employers - including the University of North Dakota.
How would you ensure that North Dakotans’ healthcare costs are affordable?
I would work closely with the insurance commissioner to understand how exactly the costs between the providers and insurers are negotiated. I support transparency in pricing for providers.
How would you address the housing needs of the state?
I would continue efforts to get down property tax and also look at ways political subdivisions and the state can address the rising costs of special assessments to homeowners.
What is your position on allowing public funds to be directed to non-public education?
I think there can be opportunities where this makes sense, but it must be to support a vital public need. For instance, if there were a private school that provided education for law enforcement or other public service, this is something the state should support.
What are your views on the current voting methods and access to voting in North Dakota?
North Dakota has the easiest and best voter registration system in the United States.
What is the role of the federal government regarding states’ rights, and are there currently any areas where you believe there is an imbalance?
I believe the federal powers are enumerated powers, while the States have the authority to do everything else that is not specifically enumerated to the federal government (i.e. interstate commerce, full faith and credit clause, specific Amendments). The Federal government has overstepped in some regards through its interpretation of the supremacy clause and the idea of preemption.
