Priority Issues:
1. Health care reform that benefits working families
2. School funding at the state level and off the backs of local property taxpayers
3. Transportation investment in our local roads and bridges
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm running for the Minnesota House because the divisive partisan name-calling and attack dog attitudes coming from the state legislature have to stop. As a leader in my company and in my church congregation, I know how much progress can be made by people working together for a shared goal, instead of pulling in opposite directions.
