Get StartedWe need to feel safe in our communities. As your representative in the Minnesota State Senate, I will advocate for funding that ensures our police departments have the tools and resources they need for recruiting and training officers and the mental health services that protect our first responders and our communities. Our brave men and women in blue deserve the tools and resources that will help them better serve the communities they are protecting. Learn more
Many of our political leaders, as well as teacher’s union leaders, believe that more funding will help solve many of the problems that plague our public education institutions but it seems more funding is merely a Band-Aid to hide the wounds deep within the system itself. I believe the technology and facilities we have in place are adequate; we need to take the corrupt unions, leaders, and politics out and allow the parents, students, and teachers to develop the plans and goals they agree on work best.

Educational institutions sit as the foundation of any well-functioning society. I believe that education is the gateway to success. Why? Because when you learn more, you can earn more. Learn more
We need to advocate for not only traditional learning environments but also alternative learning environments through school choice. Learning can take place in many forms and many ways. Taxpayers should be allowed to choose what works best for them and direct where their taxpayer dollars should go to educate their children. Learn more
I will fight to protect your God-given rights and freedoms. I will work to ensure that no politician will have the power to limit or take them away. What good are prosperity and wealth if you don’t have the freedom to enjoy them? In the words of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty, or give me death!”. Learn more
I will also fight to protect 2nd amendment rights so all Minnesotans can protect themselves from any life-endangering threats they may encounter. Learn more
Even before Tim Waltz became Governor, the State of Minnesota couldn’t even run its Department of Motor Vehicles effectively, and the big Medicaid Expansion under Obamacare was a disaster. Learn more
As a pastor, I have spoken with many parents across the political spectrum and I have noticed a common threat - PARENTAL RIGHTS! They are tired of their voices being silenced when it comes to raising their children. They want safe communities for their families and opportunities to improve their quality of life. Most parents view this as a high priority and, as your representative, so will I. Learn more
As your Senator, I will advocate for ending wasteful, counter-productive spending and programs. Taxpayers and small businesses in Minnesota deserve our respect and support. And I will help restore both to the State Legislature. Learn more
Why are smaller governments, lower taxes, and less regulation so important to our overall economy? Because the bigger our government gets, the more expensive and wasteful it becomes. Learn more
