1. Stop fraudulent stealing of our tax dollars. 2. Reduce spending. 3. Reduce taxes.
I would support legislation to end the authority of Office of the Governor to lock down the state, block citizens from going to church or participating in commerce.
I will support any legislation that removes impediments to industry and manufacturing, promoting free enterprise which will encourage employment job growth allowing citizens to work and save for investment in home ownership.
I do not support the Equal Rights Amendment to Article 1 because it does not protect the rights of offspring in the womb or the rights of Manoomin (wild rice) to exist and thrive.
I will support any reasonable legislation that promotes clean air and water.
I will support legislation requiring all Law Enforcement Officers within the State of Minnesota to secure the perimeter surrounding any Immigration Customs Enforcement operation to remove illegal criminals from our communities.
I will support legislation that ends billionaire financing of government elections.

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.

VOTE411 is brought to you by the League of Women Voters Education Fund and League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office.
