“Affordability isn't a political slogan—it's the challenge facing nearly every family. Whether it's housing, healthcare, childcare, groceries, or property taxes, too many Minnesotans are working harder while falling further behind. I will focus on practical solutions that lower costs, strengthen our economy, and make it easier for families to build financial security.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Strong communities are built on stability. That means investing in excellent public schools, safe neighborhoods, reliable infrastructure, and protecting the rights and freedoms that allow every person to participate fully in our democracy. Government should provide certainty, solve problems, and earn the public's trust through transparency and accountability.”

“House Republicans hold only one-half of one branch in our three-legged stool of power in St. Paul, yet we still delivered positive results for Minnesotans. Overall, it is difficult to overstate the value of divided government for the people of Minnesota. You may not get everything you want, but the things that truly need to get done, still get done.”
