Priority Issues:

Minnesota is in an excellent position right now to be better than ever. We are running a budget surplus, our schools are strong and we have a record number of jobs in the state. Now we need to move forward and build a Minnesota where all families have the opportunity to work hard and succeed. Here in our community, I will focus on

An improved Border City Enterprise and Development Zone
Continuing the work on Oakport's flood mitigation project

We also need to focus on transportation during the 2015-16 legislative session. As we develop a 21st century economy, we must construct a 21st century transportation system. This includes roads, bridges, highways and ports. A comprehensive, all-encompassing transportation system will ensure Minnesota is prepared to lead the economy of tomorrow.
