Dear friends and neighbors,

Thank you for visiting my website! I am honored and excited to be a candidate for Senate Seat 55. I hope this website is useful to you in getting to know me, and encourages you to be an involved, informed voter.

For over half of my adult life I held elected office as a member of the Shakopee School Board. Through this experience I learned the importance of listening to the stakeholders, planning for the future, studying issues thoroughly prior to making decisions, and operating in a fiscally responsible manner. In addition to these guiding principles, I quickly learned that working with others to build consensus, and shared responsibility are the most effective ways to achieve positive results. I am ready to take those guiding principles to St. Paul to work for you.

• Economic development that creates living wage jobs
• Funding for a strong and stable public education system
• Preservation of and restoration of our natural resources and
• Legislation to support public safety

I look forward to talking with you in the coming months about how, by working together, we can get back to a Minnesota that works together for the greater good.
