• Woodbury Chamber of Commerce- Public Safety - Everyone deserves to live in a safe community. Funding and supporting the men and women that work in law enforcement is the foundation of that safety. Just as important is making sure that our prosecutors hold criminals accountable.
- Economic Security - The people of Minnesota deserve the opportunity to earn a good living. By creating jobs, small businesses are essential in providing stability and growth to our economy. The role of government is to ensure the people are not harmed by over-taxation and inflation.
- Education - Parents are uniquely positioned to determine what is in the best interest of their children. Therefore, the education of our children needs to be a partnership between parents and educators. That education needs to take place in the classroom, not on a screen.
