2016
Diesslin's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
Education
- Excerpt: "The farther into the information era we go the more we are seeing that education is important at all levels. We need to have pre-k programs that support early childhood development, once a child reaches school age we have to commit to getting all children, rural and urban alike, the same educational opportunities."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "The state of Minnesota needs to continue to work towards leading America’s change to a more equitable system for all. As the cost of prescription drugs and treatments skyrocket, many states are holding up the progress needed towards healthy futures for all."
Infrastructure
- Excerpt: "We only have to look to Wisconsin to find what the failed policies of Republican controlled states are doing to squeeze every dime out of the budget. The crumbling infrastructure of America is not a burden it is an opportunity to put people to work!"
Right of individuals
- Excerpt: "Minnesota has always succeeded at being a progressive state, and we need to continue down that path. We cannot deny basic rights to LGBTQ communities, women, or people of color."
