Get StartedWith the green energy economy growing across the world and because Minnesota has a vested interest in protecting our environment, we have an opportunity to become a leader in the clean energy industry which is the fastest growing sector in our state. I will continue to support efforts to get high paying green energy jobs into Minnesota so that our economy, and environment, can benefit from the green energy. Learn more
I also support efforts that encourage young people to seek learning opportunities like trade school or higher education, which will help them enter the workforce and will help our local businesses grow. Unmanageable student loan debt will keep young people from thriving and fully contributing to our local economies, so we need to better understand why tuition is increasing at a faster rate than incomes so that we can get to the root of the student loan problem.

Our community is only as strong as our schools. When our public schools are supported and funded, our community will thrive. I will help ensure that fully funding public education is a priority in Minnesota. I want our children to have a world-class education that sets them up for success in a competitive and thriving job market. Learn more

While I support national efforts to improve healthcare, we can’t wait for the federal government to figure out a solution. I will help Minnesota be a leader by supporting a state based health plan which will reduce waste and inefficiency and provide all Minnesotans with healthcare. Learn more
Too many Minnesotans are struggling to afford healthcare. Even as a healthcare provider, I struggle to provide healthcare for my own family. Increasing healthcare costs are hurting our citizens, our community, and our economy. No person should stay awake at night worrying that a medical emergency could force them into bankruptcy or force them to lose their home. Learn more
Creating comprehensive healthcare reform for all Minnesotans is one of my top priorities. I will help us enact policies that will serve our community’s healthcare needs, not the interests of wealthy insurance executives. Learn more
With a massive $9 billion dollar surplus, we should be enacting responsible tax relief for families and small businesses, not the extremely wealthy and large corporations. Learn more
Our Minnesota economy only thrives when everyone can participate. That’s why it is necessary to address issues like affordable childcare and paid family leave so that families can fully participate in the workforce. Taking on these issues will help Minnesota families and our small businesses to compete with large corporations and the benefits they offer. Learn more
