Issue Position: Jobs and Opportunity

Issue Position

Our neighboring states have enacted pro-growth policies and forced government to live within its means. The DFL and Governor Walz however have responded by proposing billions in new taxes and growing government at an unprecedented rate. Brian believes a new approach is needed to encourage job creation and opportunity in our district.

We were told by Governor Walz in March 2020 that we needed to shut down for "15 Days to Flatten the Curve" so our medical community could prepare for the COVID 19 pandemic. Governor Walz has made all of these decisions impacting livelihoods without consulting with the Legislative Branch.

Brian's plan:

Change areas of Chapter 12 (Emergency Powers) that allows some oversight of the Governor's authority, bringing back all 3 co-equal branches of Government to the table again.
Reduce and streamline state spending by prioritizing infrastructure and public safety and eliminating wasteful government programs
Lower taxes and eliminate regulations that put our businesses at a disadvantage over neighboring states
Reduce property taxes to encourage job creators to stay in the area
