Dennis Schminke was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 27B of the Minnesota House of Representatives. He ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2014.

Campaign themes

2014

Schminke's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

“ First, state government should be focused on putting in place good environments for transportation, regulation, and taxation. This is what encourages individuals and companies to invest here–to start businesses, grow businesses, or move here from other locales.

Second, the state must focus on building a world-class education system that equips Minnesotans for these opportunities, provides an ability to grow with them, and build long-term personal prosperity.

  • Basic skills–reading, writing, math, and science–Which are important whether the student is college bound or plans to build a lucrative career in skilled trades
  • Support for the idea of life-long learning–because the rapid pace of technological advancement demand a continuous building of knowledge and skills
  • Cost control and accountability for all of our institutions of post-high school education to make it more affordable[1][2]
 ”
