Person Most Want to Meet (Dead or Alive):

Abraham Lincoln. He came from humble means, yet became one of the greatest Presidents the United States of American has ever seen. He worked to keep the country together during one of the most troubled times in our history.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

There are many important issues to be addressed, yet our current representative wastes valuable time and energy posturing for his party. His style is cynical and divisive. We are fortunate to have many good, hardworking people willing to serve at the Minnesota Legislature, and we need to work with them to hammer out solutions, not hammer on each other.
