| Collapse all
A mom, nurse, business owner and Minnesotan. Running for State Senate in SD 54 to help bring a needed new perspective to St Paul. I am the endorsed Republican candidate and am focused on a grassroots campaign to be the voice of the people in my district.
- Taxes and Inflation- getting money back into taxpayers wallets especially during these hard times.
- School Transparency & School Choice- parents are the primary stakeholder in their children's education.
- Protection of Individual Choices- Minnesotan's deserve the right to decide what is best for them and their families and should not be losing their jobs over it. Personal choices are what make our country great.
Extremely passionate about making Minnesota an all around great place to raise your family. To not burden our middle class families with taxes, to have the best quality education throughout the country. Overall I want to make Minnesota a place people love being a part of.
