Lynn Wardlow

District:		38B
Party:		GOP
Residence:		Eagan, MN
Web site:		www.lynnwardlow.com

Statement from the candidate:
A Marine's resolve, a teacher's commitment, the proven choice working for Eagan. During the last session I worked along side other House members to pass a bonding bill with 102 yes votes, showing huge bipartisan support. But the senate could not pass their bonding bill, so no bill went forward. Citizens are concerned about the lack of cooperation between the legislative bodies, and I promise to work toward improving that relationship as I continue to reach across the aisle to work with all members of the House. I will continue to include parents, educators and students as we strive to meet the education needs of all children as I did while working on the new state social studies standards. Education funding needs to be addressed as well as the transportation needs throughout the state. Minnesota needs to improve its business climate so that entrepeneurs and small businesses can flourish and provide more jobs for Minnesotans. Affordable health care is a concern as well as a welfare system that provides for those who truly need it. In resolving all of these issues, I am committed to responding to the needs of House District 38B in a personal way as I have done for the last two years.
