Statement from the candidate:
Too many longtime legislators on both sides of the aisle that have forgotten that it is not about party control, but rather about serving the people of their district.

Education: Of vital importance to Minnesota's future. We need accountability, but also new innovation ideas.

Healthcare: We need creative ways to open up the healthcare industry and bring prices down.

Transportation: We need a comprehensive plan that will take us through the next 50 years. Taxation: We need sensible increases in expenditures to upgrade Minnesota's infrastructure.

It's time for a change.
