1. We can solve many problems in rural Minnesota, where I live, with long-term vision and strategy for economic development. I doubt we’ll see a major industry suddenly decide to open a factory in Carlton County or anywhere in 11A. But I do know that if we focus on things like childcare and eldercare; education opportunity; and health care along with incentives for successful business development, we’ll see rural communities strengthen and grow. You should be able to open a hardware store in Wrenshall or a café in Cromwell and make a living doing it. Policy that supports such development works. People will be able to make a good living in rural communities and be less inclined to move to major cities simply for jobs or opportunity.
1. Inflation is a direct result of the global pandemic we experienced during COVID. As our economy recovered, we saw inflation and supply issues. I trust economists to advise government on the best strategies to ease inflation, and so far, it seems to be working. But it takes time. Keeping the economy healthy is a major role of the government, through careful policy and appropriate regulation.
1. Again, economic development is the answer to solving racial and ethnic disparity across Minnesota. So is education. Minnesotans are generally a warm and welcoming bunch. When we foster an environment of stable economic security and interact with others who are not like us, we’ll see that there is no “us” and “them”… there’s just “us”- all of us.
1. We need to explore progressive change to our energy policy. We need to admit that it’s better to be prepared than to be resistant to ideas unfamiliar to us now. We need to explore new directions in everything from how we heat our homes, to transportation needs, even what to do with our waste. Some attempts will fail. But some will succeed, and we’ll wonder how we ever survived without the new ways. But it takes patience, and a lot of work and cooperation.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
