Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I would like to see democracy be democratic again. Minnesota has the most lobbyists per capita and it shows in the kind of sweetheart deals that our legislature passes. Our current system is taxation without representation and the debt it heaps on our children is a form of child abuse. I have taken the high road in refusing special interest money. I run to represent you.
