Drawing on my 20+ years in business and two terms on city council, my priorities focus on delivering results over partisanship: 1)Fiscal accountability & economic growth: Stop fraud through regular audits, end taxes on Social Security income, reform property taxes, revise regulations to keep Minnesota economically competitive. Work to fully fund schools, reduce costs for childcare and healthcare. 2)Community safety: Support first responders, enact common-sense gun violence prevention, keep ICE out of schools, support bonding for local infrastructure projects. 3)Protect the environment: Expand clean energy like wind and solar, invest in energy storage, safeguard our lakes, rivers and forests. Enact "Prove It First" to protect BWCA.
Minnesota’s economy thrives on partnership, predictability, and fiscal accountability. I believe in listening before legislating—working with employers and using data to keep our tax and regulatory system stable and competitive. I’ll support workers by ensuring parents have access to childcare, reviving technical training for well-paid job opportunities, and lowering everyday costs like health care. With balanced economic policies, businesses invest with confidence and workers thrive.
Everyone deserves to start life on a fair playing field, and we should ensure there are ample opportunities for all. I support fully funding our public schools, so all kids have access to a high quality foundation no matter their race or native language. Disparities in homeownership rates and career advancement show we must work to expand access to affordable housing and scale career training and technical program pipelines. I will also work to ensure all have access to affordable healthcare.
I support letting Minnesotans vote on the Equal Rights Amendment to enshrine equal protections in our state constitution. All people deserve protection from discrimination based on sex, race, disability, or identity. Having this issue on the ballot puts more power in the hands of voters, and gives people the opportunity to rise above partisanship and have the final say on protecting fundamental rights for all.
In office, I will make protecting our air, water, and woodlands a priority to preserve our outdoors for future generations. Water quality begins at the source with reductions in agricultural run off, elimination of PFAS, fighting invasive aquatic species, and advocating for “Prove It First” to keep toxic copper-sulfide mining out of the Boundary Waters. I also support expanding investments in solar and wind and energy storage options, moving us closer to becoming carbon neutral.
Safety requires multiple approaches: economic safety nets, safe infrastructure, crime prevention, and emergency response, so I’ll support food security, mental health and addiction treatment, safe infrastructure, and robust emergency response. I also support expanding sentencing options for youth offenders and strengthening accountability for criminals. I’ll vote to keep ICE out of schools and for common-sense gun violence prevention, e.g. banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
Politicians should be accountable to the people that they represent, not wealthy corporations, individuals or special interest groups. I show this commitment by not taking any PAC, lobbyist, or special interest money. Minnesota support disclosure of where funding for independent expenditures is coming from and limit the amount they can spend. Minnesota should also reform our primary system and implement ranked choice voting to reduce polarization.

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.
