Patrick Davern was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 38 of the Minnesota State Senate. He ran unsuccessfully for District 38A of the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2014.[1]

Campaign themes

2016

Davern's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Employment/Jobs:

  • We must eliminate outsourcing and promote job growth within our district and state. A strong labor force allows us to direct more resources to continue implementing educational and continuing education improvements. These programs will keep our labor force strong and competitive.

Education:

  • We need to increase the focus on education for both K-12 and higher education. We need to insure that children are receiving the best education possible. We need to emphasize the need for math, engineering, technology and sciences to help keep this district and our state competitive with our country and the world market. Other states and nations are now directing significant resources to education we must remain competitive! Remember: Education is an investment in the economic future of our state and nation.

Transportation:

  • We should increase our options for transit to make sure we do not become dependant on one form of transportation. Options such at light rail can provide transit that can be both beneficial and environmentally appealing must be researched and engaged. Alternative fuels must continue to be implemented, as this is not only an economic issue for our state but also a security issue. Ethanol and other alternative fuels that can be produced in Minnesota will have a long-range effect on reducing the need for foreign oil. We need to diversify our energy needs to make sure that no country or entity can constrict our transit requirements.

Health/Medical:

  • We will need to work together to make sure that we have the best health coverage while containing cost increases. This will require working with insurance companies, state government, medical, and business. We need to provide a system that will enable excellent health coverage for adults and children and still be affordable to single people and families.

Data Security/Privacy:

  • In this age of technology we need to vigorously protect personal information that has been entered into computer systems. We must not allow the possibility that your personal information be distributed and used irresponsibly or sold by any government entity without your permission.[2]
 ”
