Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running because I want to continue to deliver results for our area and there is more work to be done. Our counties, cities and townships have priorities they are working on and need state support. If re-elected, I will to continue to partner with local leaders to address their priorities, and work with state leaders on our infrastructure needs such as transportation, technology, water, and energy -- to make sure Greater Minnesota gets its fair share. And most importantly, I will continue to listen to all of you and welcome you to reach out with any questions or concerns or if you are in need of some assist on an issue.
