From conception through natural death, I hold the conviction that every life is unique and invaluable.
I believe that taxpayer-funded abortions infringe upon our constitutional principles, as they strip our most vulnerable of their inherent right to life.
I support pro-life resources for mothers and children, including adoption and foster care. The sanctity of life is non-negotiable.
In the pursuit of a safer and stronger community, I stand firmly with responsible gun owners.
The right for citizens to bear arms is a Constitutional pillar, essential for safeguarding our liberties and preserving the principles upon which our nation was built. It shall not be infringed.
In Southern Minnesota, our livelihoods are rooted in agriculture, industry, and small business. This forms the backbone of our economic prosperity.
I am dedicated to our hardworking individuals through policies that encourage innovation and competition.
I aim to cut unnecessary regulations, foster fair trade, and fuel a business-friendly environment that cultivates a resilient and thriving local economy.
Minnesota's overall tax burden is one of the highest in the nation.
Our state saw a record $18 Billion surplus in 2023. Minnesota Democrats then spent that and increased taxes, all while inflation hurts our dollar.
Needless government spending only results in increased taxes and fees. We can do better and still be impactful, exemplified by our neighbors in South Dakota.
I'll always prioritize fiscal responsibility and lower taxes for all Minnesotans, keeping your earnings where they belong, in your pocket.
Despite increased spending on education, Minnesota students are struggling and continue to face declining test scores, lower graduation rates, mental health issues, drug use, and suicide.
Continually increasing educational money will not solve these problems.
We need a policy shift away from destructive teaching and a return to fundamental subjects, life skills, and mentorship.
Parents are their children's primary educators. They thrive when provided choices which they decide are best suited to fit their child's development. I recognize parents as the core of our society and a moral value-driven system.
The most basic function of government is to protect its citizens.
Minnesota has endured record crime in recent years and today the lack of federal leadership to secure our national border is worsening this problem. This is unacceptable.
Law enforcement and our first responders work tirelessly to keep every Minnesotan safe across our state. They deserve our support, respect, and a common unity in recognizing their selfless dedication to ensuring our well-being.
I stand with our officers and first responders and every elected official should do the same.
Southern Minnesota agriculture forms the backbone of our region.
I fully support our farmers and will advocate for minimizing obstacles, advancing technology and equipment, and charting a clear path to fortify our food production and supply.
Minnesota is a leader in agriculture. I'm a strong advocate for policies that support our farmers and those working in the industry to ensure we remain a leader for generations to come.
Southern Minnesota takes pride in its world-leading healthcare and technology, exemplified by the Mayo Clinic.
While clinics excel in treating issues, my focus is a dual approach: First, enhancing access and affordability to traditional reactive care while also empowering us to utilize proactive options, uncensored information, and medical freedom that achieves healthier lifestyles to prevent health issues.
Respecting individuals' rights, including the protection afforded by HIPAA laws, is paramount. People should be empowered, educated, and equipped to make their own health decisions.
Just a few years ago, the U.S. achieved full energy independence, but excessive regulations on mining, oil and natural gas production, and nuclear power have made us reliant on foreign sources. This jeopardizes our state and national security while limiting our global energy leadership. Minnesotans have proven we can use our natural resources responsibly.
We must invest in and reclaim energy independence.
I support an all-of-the-above energy approach that is reliable, affordable, and innovative to power Minnesota.
