Issue Position: Healthy Communities

Issue Position

We are all better off when we are part of something larger than ourselves. Our strong community bonds are what bring us together and part of what makes Minnesota so special. Steve believes in nurturing these bonds through sound policies that bring people together to promote physical, mental, and environmental health. As an avid lover of nature, Steve enthusiastically supports efforts to make Minnesota's outdoor recreation system the best in the nation.

He will continue investments in programs like the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP), which has proven results in decreasing smoking and obesity rates, and improving walkability in communities across Minnesota to encourage people to get outside and come together to explore our beautiful natural resources.
