| Collapse all
- I have spent my career serving our country and our community, and I know what it means to serve and protect our community and its residents. My priority is to make sure we are supporting the institutions that keep our community safe and healthy: supporting our Police, Firefighters, EMS, and our local healthcare infrastructure.
- I am a moderate, and I will work with folks from all backgrounds to find solutions to our common problems. I will not be a rubber stamp for one side or the other in the Legislature. I have spent my career working with people from all backgrounds, and I know from my service in the military and in healthcare that it doesn't matter what your background, race, ethnicity, culture, or politics are. We all work together to accomplish the mission and help keep each other safe.
- As a community and a state, we need to work together with each other again. Our politics has devolved into an angry, vengeful, greivance campaign against the "others" that we may disagree with. Both sides of the aisle are guilty of this. We can and must be able to work across the aisle with our neighbors to find reasonable solutions to common problems. Our fellow Minnesotans are not our enemies, they are our coworkers and neighbors. People we trust every day to watch our children, prepare our food, and provide our healthcare. Let's get back to working together.
1. Ensuring robust support for our public safety services and first responders (police, fire, and EMS).
2. Ensuring that our rural healthcare clinics and hospitals continue to operate and stay open, so patients can actually get care in their own communities.
