In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’ve lived in rural Minnesota my whole life and believe that people are really struggling today. Everyone, especially those in rural communities, need a representative who will listen to their needs and will be a voice for rural Minnesotans at the capitol.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Democracy only works when the voices of the people are heard.The working class has been left behind and today’s economy only works for those at the top.People’s material conditions is the greatest determinant for life outcomes. By improving everyone’s material conditions we will see a general increase in quality of life while at the same time see a reduction of crime and drug use.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The economy and affordability
