I am a proud Finnish-American. Finns have a word, sisu, that means courage, grit, and perseverance. I am a business owner, mental health therapist, community leader, former corporate professional and mom to two sons. Whether building my own business, fighting for healthcare reform, or chairing the St. Croix Valley Alliance, I've used that Finnish grit to get things done.
Now, I'm ready to use my experience and grit to serve District 33 by bringing real solutions to the problems that our district and the state are facing. I want to represent the voices and concerns of the neighbors and the community that I love. As a mother, I want to make sure that my children, and everyone else's children, see a future of opportunity and promise.- I will fight for an economy that works for all of us - not just corporations and special interests. I'll work for an economic plan that strengthens our state's prosperity while also providing responsible tax cuts for workers, families, and seniors and lowering the costs of goods and services.
- I will prioritize the health, wellbeing, and quality of life that make Minnesota a great place to live. That means fighting for affordable and comprehensive healthcare that includes mental health and reproductive freedom, protecting our environment, and ensuring that our education system provides what every child needs to succeed.
- I will work to ensure that our communities are safe places to work, live, and raise a family. I will prioritize public safety strategies that help local police recruit and retain high quality workforces while also focusing on addressing root causes of crime such as mental health and substance abuse issues and at risk youth.
