Stewardship of the Environment
I believe in responsible environmental stewardship that balances conservation with economic growth. By promoting innovation and technology, we can develop sustainable solutions that protect our natural resources while fostering job creation and economic prosperity. Through common-sense policies that prioritize conservation, we can ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations without stifling economic progress.
Economic Growth
I am committed to making government more efficient and responsive to the needs of Minnesota citizens. By reducing bureaucracy and streamlining processes, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and effectively. Through transparency and accountability, we will empower citizens to hold their government accountable and ensure that services are delivered in a timely and efficient manner.
Protect Life
I will work as a legislator to protect the most valuable asset in our society, life itself. I think some so called progressive planks see death as desirable and currently in Minnesota a baby can be murdered up to birth and life saving measures be denied to a just born infant. Physician assisted suicide is being proposed for individuals starting at age 18. I will work as a legislator to promote life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.
Efficient Government
I am committed to making government more efficient and responsive to the needs of Minnesota citizens. By reducing bureaucracy and streamlining processes, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and effectively. Through transparency and accountability, we will empower citizens to hold their government accountable and ensure that services are delivered in a timely and efficient manner.
