In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a bank vice president running for office for the first time to bring people from both parties together to clean up the messes in St. Paul. I have experience as a bank vice president preventing fraud and I want to bring that mindset to stop the fraud now! I also want to use my experience to protect taxpayers money and make the needed changes in state and county governments to stop the fraud. We also need to hold people accountable for any responsibility they have with fraud.

We also need to reduce the cost of living including making housing more affordable at all price points, strengthen our education system, improve access to health care, child care, and senior care, prevent domestic and sexual abuse and violence, promote responsible gun ownership, encourage an ownership society, and revitalize rural Minnesota.
