Fund Our Police and Increase Penalties to Criminals

Criminals need to know there are consequences for their actions. We deserve to go to The Cities and not be afraid. Law enforcement deserve the tools they need to do their job.

Fight Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

The Feeding Our Future scandal is just the latest in a long list of taxpayer dollars wasted with no clear answers from the Administration. We need to look into all areas of state spending to ensure taxpayers aren't on the hook for more.

Dear Southwest Minnesota Voters,

Challenges that have never faced us as It’s been my privilege to serve you in the Minnesota House for 12 years. I humbly ask you for the chance to go back once again.

I am a Main Street Business Owner—I sell appliances and I clean businesses. I sign the front of the paycheck and feel the inflation, the recession, and high gas prices from customers and team members.

St. Paul needs more people who have a real job outside of the legislature. People who have obligations and can’t drag legislative sessions out.

I work pragmatically and proudly for Southwestern Minnesota. I focus on Health and Human Services, where I currently serve as the Republican leader on the finance committee.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your voice at the Capitol,
