Guns

The Second Amendment is not optional; it is a right protected by the Constitution and rooted deeply in Minnesota’s way of life. From generations of hunters teaching their children safety and responsibility in the field, to farmers, pioneers, and working families who built this state with grit, independence, and self-reliance, responsible firearm ownership is part of who we are. I will stand with law-abiding gun owners, hunters, sportsmen, and families who simply want the right to protect themselves, their homes, and their loved ones. In St. Paul, I will oppose unconstitutional gun grabs, magazine bans, and efforts that punish responsible citizens instead of targeting criminals. Public safety matters, but real safety comes from enforcing the law, supporting law enforcement, addressing mental health, and holding violent offenders accountable, not taking rights away from the people who follow the law.

Taxes / Budget

I believe we should eliminate all property taxes and specials. Minnesota families, seniors, workers, and small businesses are being squeezed by a state government that taxes too much, spends too much, and still fails to deliver basic accountability. I will fight to make Minnesota affordable again by supporting permanent, meaningful tax relief, restraining wasteful spending, and making sure taxpayers, not politicians and bureaucrats, come first. Every dollar wasted in St. Paul is a dollar taken from a family budget, a small business, or a senior on a fixed income. I will work to lower the tax burden, oppose unnecessary tax increases, demand that state government live within its means, and ensure every dollar is used to help Minnesotans, not line the pockets of fraudsters.

Government has a moral duty to be honest, accountable, and responsible with every dollar it takes from hardworking families. The fraud scandals in Minnesota have shown what happens when politicians forget that taxpayer money belongs to the people, not bureaucrats, insiders, or criminals. I support and will continue efforts to expose fraud, strengthen oversight, protect whistleblowers, ensure real consequences for officials who allow fraud to continue, and ensure that public programs serve the truly needy rather than those exploiting the system. In St. Paul I will fight for stronger program safeguards, and a culture of accountability so Minnesota families can trust that their tax dollars are being used with integrity, compassion, and common sense.

Public service is a trust, not a title. The people of Moorhead and District 4A deserve a representative who will be honest about where they stand, accessible to the families they serve, and willing to answer for every vote they take in St. Paul. I will fight for transparency in state government, support stronger oversight of taxpayer dollars, and oppose the culture of excuses that allows waste, fraud, and mismanagement to continue unchecked. Guided by faith, integrity, and common sense, I will work to restore trust by putting people before politics and making sure government is accountable to Minnesotans, not the other way around.
