Campaign themes

Jobs

Education
- Excerpt: "We need to stop borrowing from our children’s future and instead commit to invest in their success through education."
Health care
- Excerpt: "I believe in health care for all. Not just because we have a tradition of taking care of each other here in Minnesota, but because doing so will help entrepeneurs to start small businesses and grow jobs throughout the state."
Transportation
- Excerpt: "Public transportation is key to bringing all of the Twin Cities together, and Woodbury should be a part of that network. We should get our fair share of transportation dollars to maintain the quality of our roads and highways."
Fair taxation
