Together we will grow State Senate District 3 by cutting taxes for small businesses and families, streamline permitting, build a stable workforce, and provide a world-class education for all kids.
Kelsey is pro-union, pro-mining, pro-timber, pro-gun, and pro-life.- Cut taxes. In the last 13 years Minnesota state property tax and income tax collections have doubled. In 2022, the state had a record surplus, yet the state did NOT cut taxes. You've been taxed too much, I'd like to give it back through permanent tax cuts.
- World-class education for every kid. Every kid deserves a world-class education. Many parents I've spoken to told me that their children are falling behind in reading, math and science - this has got to change. All children deserve the best education that we can provide.
- Grow communities. Our community need consistent and sustained job-growth. Small businesses will be the driver of consistent and sustained job growth.
