- Growing up in the Midwest, I was always taught that you help your neighbors. I see this playing out in our communities all the time: we help shovel out our neighbors’ driveways, rally around families during tragedy, and celebrate each other’s achievements. We donate to charities and volunteer in our communities. I wish to take this spirit of community with me to St. Paul. A budget reflects the values of the people who set it. If we value caring our neighbors, our state’s budget should reflect that and help empower people to provide for their families.
- The cost of healthcare is a heavy burden for many families, and no one should have to choose between food, medication, or seeing the doctor. Everyone needs access to quality affordable healthcare. This includes mental health and emergency services wherever people may live. Our rural EMS services are especially vulnerable right now. Much of greater Minnesota relies on volunteer ambulance services for their emergency care. Many of these services are struggling to remain operational. The legislation from this past year was a great start, but there is a lot more work to be done to protect this vital service for all Minnesotans.
- Minnesotans value our land for the food our farmers produce, recreation, and a healthy place to raise our families. Everyone needs access to clean water, and I believe safeguarding the purity of our water and air not only protects our health but also makes our area a great place to live and start a business. We've all seen the increasing severity of floods, droughts, and storms in our area. These not only pose risks to our safety, but they also can be costly in property damages and loss of crops for farmers. It's imperative we take action to mitigate the effects of climate change to preserve our state's beauty for generations to come.
