Issue Position

TAXES/SPENDING
Taxes are a necessary evil, but they are simply too high in Minnesota.
Governor Dayton's appetite for higher taxes goes hand in hand with his desire to push government programs and regulation into every corner of our lives.

I believe we need to cut taxes and reduce the size and scope of government. We also need to stop wasting the taxpayers' money. I will initiate a top-to-bottom audit of the programs that Minnesota taxpayers fund. We will celebrate those that can prove they produce the results we claim to want; we will end those that cannot.

From the first day I am in office to the day I leave, I will work to put government back into its place as a servant of the citizens, not their master.
