As a parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, neighbor, and Minnesotan, I am frustrated with how things are in Minnesota (and the country) right now, and felt compelled to once again get involved by running for office. Families are facing so many struggles, economic difficulties, rise in crime, education systems not focusing on academics, government taking away decision-making from parents. As your senator, I will fight for children, families, neighbors, and the community.
