I’m focused on fully funding public education, tackling rising costs for families, and protecting access to affordable healthcare. North Dakotans deserve strong schools, fair wages, and reliable care in every community. We need practical solutions that support working families, invest in educators and healthcare workers, and ensure everyone can afford to live, work, and retire with dignity.
I would work to make health care more affordable by addressing the real drivers of high costs. That includes increasing transparency, reviewing major hospital mergers, limiting unfair billing practices, and using data to reduce waste in the system. Other states have shown these steps can lower prices while keeping care accessible for families across North Dakota.
Grand Forks is growing, but housing costs are rising beyond what many working families can afford. I support policies that expand affordable housing, invest in the Housing Trust Fund, and ensure families aren’t spending more than 30% of their income on shelter. Every North Dakotan deserves safe, stable, affordable housing in the communities they call home.
As a lifelong educator and parent in Grand Forks, I believe public funds must stay in public education. With federal support shrinking, North Dakota must fully fund our public schools, not divert dollars to private or charter programs. Our responsibility is to strengthen the schools that serve every child.
North Dakota’s voting system is safe and secure, with early voting, vote‑by‑mail, and Election Day options that generally work well. I’m concerned about the recent change requiring mailed ballots to be received, not just postmarked, by Election Day. We must ensure equitable access for Tribal communities facing voter ID and address challenges. I support keeping election authority at the state level and protecting strong access so every eligible voter can participate with confidence.
The federal government should set basic protections for rights and fairness, but states must retain control of their own processes. I support strong national standards that ensure equal opportunity while allowing states to innovate. Imbalances arise when federal actions undermine rights or restrict states from protecting their citizens.
