| Collapse all
- Restore Honestly, Ethics and Honesty to government!
- Term limits for all, elected office should be a service not a career
- Stop the lobbyist money! Your voice is watered down by those paying and accepting theses legal bribes.
We need a government for of the people, by the people and for the people, not for whoever writes the largest check and buys our laws.
He was an honorable man, who interpreted the constitution as it was written. Regardless of his personal feelings.
Ethics
I am a sober hard working family man, I have been married 47 years,
I listen to people.
Instilling a hard working attitude willing to serve others and take care of their own children and grand children.
It is more important elected people represent the district they are from and not a political party or another region. We are a rural district, but do to party shenanigans we have a legislator that represents the metro area and large businesses.
One where both sides work to follow the US and State Constitutions.
We need to work with each other to do the states business, and for the good of the people of the state. Unfortunately, in Minnesota we have devolved into two opposing sides working only to strengthen their respective party and the wealthy donors that support them.
It disenfranchised millions of rural farm families.
I would like to see the states be able to re-district senate districts the way they desire and not by population.
Education. Agriculture. Finance, Government operations. Welfare
