Issues
Lower Taxes & Improve Affordability
I've spent my life working with my hands, solving problems, and serving people in our community. As an HVAC professional, business leader, husband, father, and grandfather, I've seen firsthand how hard Minnesota families work just to stay ahead. It’s time to put Minnesota families first.
Today, too many families are being squeezed by rising costs. Groceries cost more. Property taxes keep climbing. Healthcare is expensive. Young families struggle to buy homes, and seniors worry about staying in the homes they've worked their whole lives to afford.
Government can't solve every problem, but it should stop making life harder. I'll fight for responsible spending, lower costs, and policies that help families keep more of what they earn. Minnesota families deserve relief from rising costs.
Eliminate Fraud & Protect Taxpayer Dollars
Minnesotans work too hard and pay too much in taxes to watch millions of dollars lost to waste, fraud, and mismanagement. I believe every taxpayer dollar should be treated with respect. It’s time to restore trust and accountability in government.
That's why I'll support stronger oversight of government programs, tougher penalties for fraud, greater transparency, and independent auditing to ensure public funds reach the people they are intended to serve.
Before government asks taxpayers for more money, it should prove it is being a good steward of the money it already has. Trust is earned through accountability.
Support Public Safety
Strong communities require safe neighborhoods. Our law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, and first responders put themselves on the line every day to protect our families. They deserve our respect, support, and resources. It’s time to create safe communities.
I will support efforts to recruit and retain quality public safety professionals, provide mental health resources for first responders, strengthen victim protections, combat drug trafficking, and ensure our communities remain places where families feel safe raising their children. Public safety should never be a partisan issue.
Standing With Those Who Serve
The men and women who serve our country, and the families who support them, deserve more than a thank you. They deserve our support. Whether it's active-duty military, National Guard members, Reservists, veterans, or military families, these Americans make sacrifices on our behalf every day. It’s time to take responsibility.
Minnesota should do more to help veterans as they transition to civilian life, access the benefits they've earned, find meaningful work, and get the healthcare and mental health support they need. We should also make sure military families have the resources and support they deserve.
I will work to protect veterans from scams, support organizations that serve veterans and military families, and improve access to services across our state. I will also stand up for our National Guard and Reservists who answer the call whenever our state or country needs them.
