Statement from the candidate:
The major issues in this campaign are cost of health care, including health insurance, prescription drugs, and long-term care; jobs and economic development in rural Minnesota; and public school funding, especially in rural schools. The solutions will require strong leadership, the ability to work with legislators on both sides of the political aisle, and the initiative and committment to see that the work of the legislature gets done. We need to set aside political rhetoric and do what's best for the state of Minnesota.
