Candidacy Statement:
Minnesota is heading in the wrong direction. Republicans and democrats are only interested in keeping themselves in power. They are not interested in making real, meaningful changes to help Minnesotans. I am. I have meaningful, common sense ideas to help Minnesotans with the issues facing them: affordable health care and housing, crime, job creation, taxes, and many more. I am not about sound bites; I am about results. Neither the republicans nor the democrats can say that.

Biography:
I am currently an elected city councilperson for the City of Medford, and I am the current president of the Medford Economic Development Authority. I am an attorney in private practice with my office in Faribault, Minnesota. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and Hamline University School of Law. I am married with two children.
