As a small business owner, I know how hard it’s been for our Main Street businesses to survive and get their legs back under them after the pandemic. Inflation, supply chain and workforce challenges, and gas prices all are putting a squeeze on all businesses. I will put my experience as a business owner to work to promote a healthy business environment that will generate good jobs that can support Central Minnesota families. I will focus on accountability and transparency with government spending – valuing every dollar and cutting every penny of waste and fraud.

Minnesota has a fully-funded state budget and the largest surplus in state history. While government is doing well, too many Central Minnesota families are struggling as a result of record high gas prices and inflation. Minnesota needs to stop overtaxing families — I will work to cut your taxes, and deliver one of the largest tax cuts in state history. This includes permanently ending the tax on seniors social security benefits.
