Fraud
We all know about the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars lost to fraud under Governor Walz’s watch. We must eliminate this culture of fraud and demand accountability for those responsible. I will work with others to create a better, more proactive system for stopping fraud, making sure we can keep more of our money.
Affordability / Taxes
I am passionate about affordability for Minnesotans, and this should be a top priority for all leaders and legislators. Taxes are too high in Minnesota, and the spending under the democrat trifecta has been astronomical at the expense of hardworking Minnesotans. We should be able to keep more of our money so we can take care of our families and prioritize our own spending and charitable giving.
Education
As a teacher, I have seen firsthand the shift in priorities and the negative impact this has on students. Between mandates from the state that don’t make sense for local schools, to an over-emphasis on social issues (while overstepping family values), it is no wonder student achievement is lagging, despite more money and resources being given. It is time to re-prioritize academic achievement and greatness in Minnesota. Not only that, but I support school choice and will promote a school voucher program so any family can choose funding for their school of choice. I believe it will make every school better, and students will be the beneficiaries of an education that truly gives them a leg up in life.
Local Businesses and Jobs
Local businesses, whether small or large, have suffered immensely from overregulation, increasing mandates, tax burdens, permitting regulations, and other overreach by the government. It’s time to make sure businesses can thrive in Minnesota again! A healthy business can also hire more people, making our local economy successful while empowering more local families. I will work with local business owners in District 26 and be a voice for them in St. Paul.
Farms and Agriculture
We are blessed to have so many farming communities in District 26. Many of my students’ families are farming families and have been for generations. I also grew up in a rural community, fully understanding the importance of farms for all of us! I will work in St. Paul to make sure farmers’ vital work can be less inhibited by government overregulation, and will regularly consult with farmers and agriculture specialists about new opportunities and ways to continue to do their important work every day.
Families
This post-Covid world has been especially difficult on working families. The cost of living went up drastically nationwide while our state taxes went up more than almost any other state. We have been navigating limited budgets, rising daycare costs, increased health insurance premiums/costs, schools that switched priorities and left us wondering where to send our kids, and so much more. I want Minnesota to be a place where we can raise our families and our proud to do so! I will constantly be looking out for the best interests of children and families at the Capitol, and will have my ear bent toward the hardworking families of District 26.
Voting
It is both an American honor and duty to vote in elections. This is one sacred place where things should be true and fair. We need to have Voter ID laws that ensure safe and fair elections.
Healthcare
Health care costs and premiums have gotten out of control. District 26 and areas close-by have some of the best medical facilities and practitioners, but it is not financially accessible for many of us who are already paying a high premium, as well as outlandish co-pays and deductibles. Anything from a check-up to an ambulance ride can burden families, even with health insurance. It’s time to take a look under the hood to see what we can do about financial and physical accessibility in District 26.
Meanwhile, let’s eliminate the fraud in our healthcare system and DHS programs (including mental health) so healthcare is available to those who actually need it and our money isn’t being wasted by criminals taking advantage of a broken system.
Public Safety
I support local law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, and others who work tirelessly every day to make sure we are safe.
Life
I am Pro-Life.
I also believe in supporting mothers who choose life, and in the beauty and power of adoption.
Gun Rights
I believe in the Second Amendment and support the right for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.
