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?
#1. Minnesota has been targeted to be destabilized and overthrown using Marxist, socialist tactics. Almost every issue we face, fraud, riots, civil discourse, serialized materials in schools, indoctrination, trans gender ideology, promoting trans kid surgeries, Sharia law, Islamic calls to pray blasted from rooftops, flooding our state with illegal immigrants to overpopulate....every thing from the Marxist template to destabilize our state and push a dependency on government assistance programs....creating a welfare socialist state.
Objective #1.
Pull the roots of socialism from our state and eradicate any semblance of Marxism...setting in place safeguards to prevent future administration's from undoing it.Promote prosperity as a safeguard from future attempts to destabilize our state using current subsidized government programs to create homeowners instead of renters. Bring "Trades" programs back into schools providing marketable skills to high school graduates to earn a liveable wage immediately after high school.
Remove gender ideologies and pronouns from schools and promote classical academic curriculum including "life skills".
Promote small independent businesses and community based entrepreneurs over corporate big box typically owned by foreign interests.Uphold rule of law.
We have laws and statutes being violated pertaining to child endangerment not being enforced in multiple areas as well as laws against violence, riots, and those inciting violence by funding and promoting it.
We have laws against the massive fraud that took place with those involved, complicit, or knowingly aiding and abetting directly or indirectly needing not only to be held accountable, but to receive consequences that provide an act deterrent (not incentive) to prevent from breaking our laws.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
A government "By the people...for the people".
For too long the bipartisan system has become a "pay to play" system designed to be a barrier from every day people becoming involved in their government.
I firmly believe that if we are to survive, we need a government accessible to the common man/woman, not a private club of elite career politicians.
"We The People" need people in our government that understand our elected officials are not celebrities....but rather "Servants" of the people that are supposed to be available, accessible, and approachable.
Control of our government belongs in the hands of The People.
Not the elite privileged.
