Michael Kreun (R)
I support providing tax relief to all Minnesotans, including the elimination of the state tax on social security.
I will support law enforcement and get Minnesota's unacceptable crime rate under control.
Kate Luthner (D)
Reproductive rights need to be protected in our state
In all things; equity and ethics
Michael Kreun (R)
We must also tackle inflation and get our economy turned around while returning the state's multi-billion surplus back to the taxpayer in the form of tax relief. We must eliminate the state tax on social security and make Minnesota a more competitive state in which to do business.
We must put an end to the rampant fraud and abuse in our government programs, such as the Feeding our Future scandal where at least $250 million taxpayer dollars were stolen. We need thorough oversight and auditing of these programs and accountability for those who are responsible.
We must improve congestion and safety on Highway 65 in Blaine and Ham Lake. I will prioritize investments in core functions of state government, such as transportation and education while scaling back on non-essential expenditures.
Finally, Minnesota needs more legislators who take the time and effort to learn public policy, understand the nuances, and are able to collaborate with others in a civil manner to find solutions.
Kate Luthner (D)
