I'm a Minnesota family farmer, USAF Veteran of 33 years, and a former educator in Saint Paul Public Schools. I'm running on 5 key core values that I believe Minnesotans share: We work hard hard, we act with integrity, serve others, value learning and we believe everyone deserves to be treated with care and respect. These core values are the bedrock of my decision making ensure everyone has a sense of place in our community.
  • We all work hard and deserve to have a little money left at the end of the month, instead of month left at the end of our money. Our government should work hard for us too in order to provide an affordable Minnesota.
  • Acting with integrity means we combat and prevent fraud, but we also speak up against those who sold out their personal integrity. We serve others in our communities and those who serve us should be taken care of as well, especially or veterans and military families and emergency responders.
  • Valuing learning means we support our public schools so all students can reach their full potential. We also listen to those who seek truth: Scientists, economists, engineers, educators and medical professionals. Most importantly, everyone in our communities deserve to be treated with care and respect, regardless of where they were born, how they worship, who they love, where they live, or how they make a living.
I'm passionate about building an affordable Minnesota, cultivating our agricultural economy, combating and preventing fraud, growing our small businesses and supporting our towns and townships.
