Reason for Seeking Public Office:
The DFL controlled legislature demonstrated my party's ability to act with not only fiscal responsibility but also wipe out the Republican deficits endured during its tenure and return a budget surplus of over $1 billion dollars back to the state treasury. My party shows what responsible and effective leadership and not ideology can do for the citizens in these challenging economic times.
I believe in my skill set and the ability to work hard for people would make for what the public deserves in an effective public servant.
We need good leaders to provide a positive, proactive environment for our district! I am confident that my experience and background in education and the private sector will bring strong, energetic leadership. I offer a fiscally responsible progressive approach to government that will be beneficial to our communities.
