I'm running because our district needs someone who keeps promises instead of making excuses. First, clean water. I've watched leaders talk big and vote against real funding. I'll fight for investment that actually reaches our communities. Second, lowering costs for working families. Property taxes, health care, and everyday essentials are squeezing the people I grew up around. Third, restoring trust in government. I left the Republican Party after January 6th because I believe country comes before party. I'll work with anyone willing to get real results for Ramsey and Andover, not score points in St. Paul or Washington.
I grew up on a farm. I know what it's like to watch costs go up while your income doesn't. I'll push to lower property taxes and health care costs, and cut red tape that hurts small businesses and family farms. Minnesota's economy runs on working people, not corporate giveaways. I'll back tax relief targeted at families and small employers, not the well-connected few who already have lobbyists working the halls of the Capitol for them.
Every kid in this state deserves the same shot at a good life, no matter their zip code or the color of their skin. I'll support investments that close gaps in education funding, access to homeownership, and small business lending, places where the data shows real disparities exist. I believe in judging policy by results, not slogans. If a program isn't working, fix it or replace it. But I won't pretend these gaps don't exist.
Yes. I believe in equal treatment under the law, plain and simple. Putting that into our state constitution makes it harder for future politicians to chip away at it. I know some in my old party disagree, but this isn't a partisan issue to me. It's basic fairness. I'll support putting the question to Minnesota voters and let the people decide for themselves.
I take my family to the Boundary Waters every year. Clean water and clean air aren't political to me, they're personal. I've watched leaders promise water infrastructure funding for Ramsey and then vote against it. I'll fight for real investment in clean water systems and hold polluters accountable. Conservation isn't a partisan value. It's something I was raised to respect and I'll carry that to the Capitol.
Safe communities start with well-supported first responders and real mental health resources, not slogans from either side. I'll back funding for police training and recruitment, plus investment in mental health and addiction treatment so officers aren't left to handle crises alone. I'll support commonsense measures to keep guns out of dangerous hands while respecting responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
Big money is drowning out regular people's voices, and I've seen it firsthand running for office. I'll support stronger disclosure requirements so voters know who's funding attack ads, and lower contribution limits for special interests and PACs. I also support strengthening public financing options so candidates without wealthy backers can still run a real campaign.
