I was born in downtown St. Paul and I've spent my entire life in Minnesota. I've been poor or working class since birth. I'm a father to a beautiful teenage boy and fiancée to a wonderful woman. Companion to an incredible dog, Hope.
I believe government should be small and people were meant to be free. I think you should keep what you earn and what you own. Liberty is essential, if you have to ask permission you're not free.
The constitution is one of the most important documents in human history and we must return to it. Our government was designed and intended to defend the way of life we choose not choose for us and force us to live it. I will use this office to reduce the size and scope of the government. I will fund police and give them less laws to enforce where possible. I will hold the Dept of Education accountable and bring representation, not mere leadership, back to the seat.
Limited government and liberty for all.- Limited government. Keep what you earn and what you own.
- Liberty for all. Legalize Marijuana, castle doctrine, stand your ground, remove barriers to private business.
- Law and order. Time sentenced should be time served. Police should be staffed and there to help.
I look up to Jordan Peterson because he likes to focus on reducing unnecessary suffering and telling the truth. I think those things are particularly worthy pursuits.
This is an amazing work about how we establish meaning and how universal some of our deepest held beliefs happen to be. Even across cultures, continents and thousands of years.
For peacetime governance bicameral is clearly superior.
Compromise on policy that is. Not principle.
