Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Dr. Krishnan Subrahmanian. Please call me Krish.

I am a father, son, husband, teacher, public health leader, veteran, pediatrician, and lifelong frustrated Minnesota sports fan. It is thanks to Minnesota and Minnesotans that I have lived the American Dream. I am running to keep that dream alive for the next generation.

As a pediatrician at HCMC, I see the issues facing our kids and families. When we ask the question, "Is this policy good for kids and families," we start legislating on 18-20 year generational cycles rather than 2-4 year political cycles. We need that change in politics.

As an Air National Guard Flight Surgeon, I see the sacrifice our young adults make. We must defend their sacrifice while holding government accountable to the will of the people.

As the Chief Medical Officer of our county's Medicaid program, I see the value in supporting our most vulnerable neighbors, and I understand the complexities of the Medicaid system. We must use a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer to counter fraud in our social services programs.
