“I am a father, son, husband, teacher, public health leader, veteran, pediatrician, and lifelong frustrated Minnesota sports fan. It is thanks to Minnesota and Minnesotans that I have lived the American Dream. I am running to keep that dream alive for the next generation.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “As a pediatrician at HCMC, I see the issues facing our kids and families. When we ask the question, "Is this policy good for kids and families," we start legislating on 18-20 year generational cycles rather than 2-4 year political cycles. We need that change in politics.”

“Defending Local Control for Schools, Transit & Safety: One-size-fits-all mandates from St. Paul undermine local governance. I will work to roll back heavy-handed state mandates on public schools, restore authority to classroom teachers, fully resource local police and fire departments, and fiercely protect SouthWest Transit’s successful local opt-out model.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Pro-Growth Realism & Unbossed Governance: Minnesota faces a 100,000-home shortage that freezes out young buyers and traps seniors. I support increasing housing supply. Unbound by party lines, I will bring both caucuses to the table to focus on pragmatic solutions for Eden Prairie and Minnetonka rather than partisan culture wars.”
