Get StartedI believe life begins at conception. Every life has value and deserves compassion and respect. We should support women and families by ensuring they have access to resources, care, and guidance during life’s most challenging moments. As a mother and grandmother, I am committed to helping build a future where the next generation can thrive and pursue their dreams. Learn more
Strong and safe communities benefit everyone. I support our law enforcement officers and believe in working collaboratively to ensure they have the support and resources they need to protect and serve our communities effectively. Public safety is a shared responsibility, and together we can continue building safe, welcoming neighborhoods. Learn more
Having grown up on a farm and operated one myself, I understand the challenges farmers face and the important role they play in our communities. Agriculture is at the heart of Minnesota’s economy and way of life. I believe we should work together to ensure regulations are practical and supportive, allowing farmers to continue caring for the land while running successful operations. By listening to farmers and valuing their experience, we can find balanced solutions that strengthen our rural communities. Learn more
As a business owner who advises organizations on HR practices, I understand firsthand the value that both employers and employees bring to a thriving business community. Employees are the backbone of every successful enterprise, and employers need the flexibility to create workplace conditions that best support their teams. However, the growing number of government‑imposed burdens placed on small businesses often limit their ability to offer customized solutions for their workforce. Overregulation can unintentionally restrict innovation, reduce competitiveness, and hinder the very employers who are working to create jobs and strengthen local economies. Learn more
At the same time, we should keep our focus on strong academic foundations—reading, writing, math, and critical thinking—so every student is prepared for the future. Learn more
Parents play a vital role in their children’s education, and their voices deserve to be heard. I support empowering families to make the best choices for their children’s learning and future success. Ensuring that education funding follows the student can help create more opportunities for families to choose the environment that fits their needs. Student safety and fairness are also important. We should continue thoughtful conversations about how to maintain fair and safe opportunities for all students in school activities. Learn more
I support the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens, including the right to bear arms. I believe we can respect these rights while continuing to promote responsible ownership and community safety. Learn more
Affordable health insurance is essential to the well‑being of our society and to our ability to build a stronger future. With more than 25 years of experience in the employee benefits field, I have witnessed the steady rise in health insurance costs—many of which stem from state‑mandated requirements enacted by whichever political party is in control at the time. Learn more
These mandates are frequently presented as universally beneficial, but in reality, they are not “one size fits all.” The public is often led to believe that these mandates are paid for by the state, when in fact the financial burden typically falls on employers and employees through higher premiums. Bringing transparency to this issue is critical so that individuals and businesses can understand the true drivers of rising healthcare costs. Learn more
Minnesota has been in the national headlines for months, and not in a good way. We need to continue to look into the fraud that is happening right here, take steps to prosecute those involved, and as a legislature, find ways to prevent it in the future. It is unacceptable to see the millions of dollars that are being stolen from us, the taxpayers. We cannot continue to sit back while we are being taken advantage of. Learn more
Families across Minnesota are feeling the pressure of rising costs, and it’s important that we remain mindful of that when making decisions about taxes. We also have a responsibility to ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely. Strengthening oversight, improving transparency, and holding individuals accountable when mistakes occur will help restore trust and ensure resources are used where they are needed most. Learn more
