Issues & Priorities

Minnesota families are stretched thin, and too much of their hard-earned money is being wasted by government. I'll fight for common-sense budgeting to restore fiscal stability, balance the budget honestly, and reduce taxes. When taxpayer dollars are lost to fraud and duplication, families pay the price — and that has to stop.

Government has grown too large and too expensive. I'll work to reduce the size of government, eliminate wasteful spending, and root out the fraud that costs taxpayers billions. So much is being spent twice because of fraud and inefficiency — we can do better without cutting the services families depend on.

Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and neighborhood. I'll support our local and state law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. Strong public safety is the foundation of a thriving community, and I'll make sure our officers have the resources and backing they need.

Our students want to excel, and we need to give them every opportunity. I'll support both teachers and parents, promote competitiveness in our schools, and expand pathways to success — from post-high-school training programs and scholarships to business internships. When we invest in education, businesses return and neighborhoods improve.

I will defend the U.S. Constitution and the Minnesota Constitution. Our First Amendment rights to free speech and religious liberty, and our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, are non-negotiable. These foundational freedoms must be protected from government overreach at every level.

Able-bodied individuals should not rely entirely on welfare. I believe in helping people get on their feet through job training and workforce development — the cost of training is small compared to the income taxes self-sustaining workers return to the state. People who are empowered to provide for themselves are proud, and their neighborhoods are stronger for it.
