I will hit the ground running

I bring more than 35 years of workforce & economic-development experience to serving my community. I’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for housing, jobs, young families, and seniors.

I've managed the Veteran's Service Program and served as Minnesota’s CareerForce director, providing employment services to job-seekers and employers statewide. I know my way around state government and will be effective from Day One.

I'll fight for our economy and long-held tradition of iron mining, as well as the precious-metals mining that will lead our nation into the clean-energy economy. Staying “Iron Range Strong” requires a representative who supports mining!

I have more than 30 organizational endorsements, and I'm exceptionally proud to stand with Labor - more than 20 Labor unions have endorsed my campaign.

Promoting small and mid-sized businesses, workforce development, and economic diversification are my priorities. I live in a rural area and shop small businesses wherever I can!

Public education is foundational to strong families. I support taxpayer dollars going to public schools. My family has thrived because of our strong public education system.

I’m committed to fighting tirelessly for the critical services our seniors depend on and deserve - like affordable housing, robust healthcare options and reliable transportation.

I support a woman’s freedom to choose and keeping politicians out of reproductive health care decisions. No woman should ever be denied contraception or life-saving health services.

I’ve heard voter frustration with extreme issues that divide us and political rhetoric that stretches the truth. I commit to transparency, truth, and accessibility to the people I serve.
