Candidacy Statement:
Our current legislators have cut funding for programs that provided the greatest returns and have jeopardized the future and safety of our children. With two school age children I want to make sure they get the education and services they need to be successful in the future. All of us benefit from the investment in early childhood programs and affordable healthcare. Drawing quality, good paying jobs to Minnesota is not done through corporate tax credits but by maintaining a high quality of life and a state wide climate that provides well educated, hardworking Minnesotans to fill their job needs. Together we can restore balance and common sense to the State Legislature. Together we can cast our votes and create jobs, negotiate lower healthcare costs, educate our children and improve transportation in our cities. With your support we can put Minnesota back on the right track.
