“Minnesota has one of the highest tax rates in the nation, both for individuals and employers. Minnesota can be an amazing place to live, work, and raise a family, but high taxes are putting unrealistic pressure to sustain, on the working family. We need to lower taxes for employers and employees to allow our working class to keep more of what they work hard for.” (Campaign website (duranforhouse.com))

“Having worked in law enforcement for 11 years, I will always stand for and believe we need to support our law enforcement more than ever. In order for our society to thrive, we must have fully functioning law enforcement. How can we thrive as a society if we can not feel safe in our communities? I will continue to be a fighter for our law enforcement.” (Campaign website (duranforhouse.com))
