Reason for Seeking Public Office:

True transparency is when citizens keep tabs on their government, not when government keeps tabs on their citizens. I believe in putting people before politics. That is EXACTLY why; I will email you before I vote on major bills. You will be able to read exactly what it is, and then click on the link to cast your vote. You will immediately be able to see the vote totals. I will ensure your voice will be heard.

I believe in term limits. Some legislators have been in office so long, they are out of touch with the wishes of the people they represent. They have made it their career. My opponent has been in the same office for 44 years. Richard Nixon was the president when he was elected. I will author legislation enacting term limits to ensure that no one person will hold the same office this long.

I want to make Minnesota the best place to live, work and raise a family. With your help, we can make it happen.
