I want our voices heard when legislation is crafted and passed with the understanding that what benefits us also benefits all of Minnesota.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Following the Constitution. Today we se so many politicians bickering and writing failing legislation based in these culture war topics. They do this ignoring the fact the constitution as laid out in the bill of rights is a non binary document. It says People and person.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
