My political views have remained consistent throughout my life. I believe in individual freedom and in following the law equally and fairly. When it comes to issues such as immigration and government fraud, I support strong enforcement along with practical reform. I believe fraud should be investigated and prevented before it happens through better oversight, accountability, and clear procedures. On immigration, I support a faster and more efficient legal path to citizenship for visa-holding immigrants, while enforcing existing immigration laws.
On jobs and the economy, I believe Minnesota must do more to support American workers and small businesses. I support holding large corporations accountable and prioritizing U.S. citizens in the hiring process, while making it impossible for employers to hire illegal labor. I believe our economy grows stronger when citizens are working, earning, and reinvesting in their communities.
I am running for Congress to bring real-world experience, common sense, and accountability to government, and to ensure Minnesota families always come first.- I believe government fraud hurts the people who follow the rules the most. Whether it’s misuse of public funds or abuse of benefit programs, fraud takes resources away from families, seniors, and small businesses who truly need them. I support thorough investigations and smarter oversight that stops fraud before it happens, not after the money is already gone. Taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and a government that protects their hard-earned dollars.
- Minnesota’s economy is strongest when American workers come first. I support holding large corporations accountable and making it mandatory that U.S. citizens are prioritized in the hiring process. Employers should not be allowed to exploit illegal labor at the expense of citizens who want to work. When our residents are earning fair wages and building careers, local communities thrive, small businesses grow, and our economy becomes stronger and more stable.
- Healthcare reform must start with prevention and affordability. I support lowering prescription drug prices and holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for rising costs. I also believe we need to take a serious look at the food we allow on our shelves. Poor nutrition and ultra-processed foods are major contributors to chronic disease in America. We should restructure what ingredients are permitted in our food supply, reduce refined sugar and excessive sugar content, and hold the food industry accountable. Healthier, more nutritious food means fewer long-term health issues, lower healthcare costs, and a better quality of life for American families.
