“Among our state’s highest priorities must be climate change. It has to be a lens through which we view all legislation – and the stakes are high; we have to get climate policy right. But climate change is also an incredible opportunity – to create good jobs, reduce pollution and improve public health, and address social inequalities.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“I spent 25 years working in the high-tech industry, solving problems, collaborating with a diverse workforce, and managing large budgets.

“If voters are happy with the way the DFL has made Minnesota famous, even I encourage them to vote - again - for the DFL and its candidates and incumbents. If not, or if voters just want the DFL to pay closer attention to the concerns of everyday Minnesotans, voters can SAFELY send that message to the DFL, by voting for me.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“I strongly endorse the Minnesota League of Women Voters Position on the Judiciary, including Judicial Retention Elections. Until that happens, I plan to Flip My Ballot to Write-In NONE OF THE ABOVE to 'vote' Against every unopposed incumbent Judge.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
