Statement from the campaign:
I want to use my experience as a six-term City Council member and small-business owner/operator to work together with all forms of government. I believe our economy needs affordable health insurance and quality public education to stay viable, as well as transportation, including roads and other options for the future.

Biography:
I have been a homeowner in District 54B for 30 years, and own and operate a small business with my husband, Bob. We have raised two children, both of whom have graduated from the University of Minnesota. I was elected to six terms on the Little Canada City Council, and was part of the team that lowered the city's taxes from one of the highest in the '80s to the seventh-lowest of 19 Ramsey County cities in 2001. I am a past-president (elected) of Ramsey County League of Local Governments, and have folunteered for many community organizations.
