I am a native North Dakotan who is grateful for the opportunity to serve my state and the citizens of District 27. I believe in less intrusive government, local control, parental rights in the education of their children, fiscal responsibility, a second amendment supporter, pro-life, business friendly, and I strongly believe in treating people the right way.
  • Strongly in favor of local control and a less intrusive government.
  • I am pro-business and support strong economic development projects.
  • I believe in the sanctity of life and that it should be protected, except for extreme circumstances.
I am a supporter of respectful discourse. Our tolerance level for differing opinions seems to be almost gone, on both sides. Our citizens deserve to have all opinions heard and they deserve to have legislators who can work together and communicate in a civilized manner for the betterment of our state.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in North Dakota

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
