As a business owner and community member, I listen to the people around me and take feedback to heart, whether good, bad, or ugly. I'm always willing to listen, learn, and see other perspectives. I pay living wages and work with employees to ensure they get what they need from me. I farm flowers and design sustainably, and I pay attention to my words and deeds' intended and unintended impacts.
I believe we have the resources, knowledge, and ability to create a state where every Minnesotan can thrive, not just survive. This means access to quality, affordable health care and a world-class education – no matter your zip code. It means sustaining the life-giving work of our family farmers and supporting local businesses to create diverse, resilient local economies. I am ready to listen to you and stand up for you. I'm ready to be a voice for rural Minnesota.- Healthcare is a human right. I support a public option, Minnesota Care for All, and equitable access to healthcare for all Minnesota residents, regardless of their zip code. I also believe in living wages for our healthcare workers and adequate staff-to-patient ratios to help address our healthcare worker shortage.
- Education is the great equalizer. I believe it's time to fully fund education to ensure equitable and adequate education for all of our students, no matter where they live. We cannot rely on property taxes to make this happen-- it puts small school districts at an extreme disadvantage and leaves many rural residents with a heavy tax burden to ensure their kids are well-educated. We need to compensate our teachers, school counselors, and education professionals at a level commensurate with the responsibilities they carry every day. And I believe our teachers and education professionals deserve to be able to retire with dignity.
- It's time to invest in our small and medium-size family farms and our small local businesses. Agriculture is the backbone of Minnesota, and we need to create a level playing field that allows family farms to compete and thrive in the agricultural marketplace. We must broaden access to programs that help emerging and marginalized farmers enter the agricultural field and ensure that agricultural programs are directing resources to the farmers who need the most help. Our small local businesses need help, too. Our friends and neighbors who own businesses are reinvesting in their communities daily. Local small businesses keep $.67 of every $1.00 of their revenue in our local communities-- they deserve our support and investment.
