Bringing our best days to reality

We need to continue to foster and encourage business development in our local communities. That means supporting legacy industries like mining, timber, and paper, and making sure our communities have access to broadband technology so we can expand core industries and job opportunities in Northern Minnesota.  We must foster  and culture relationships to create opportunities for new businesses.  Keeping families here in the community so companies seeking to expand can take advantage of our incomparable workforce to see the value our great hard-working citizens can offer. The rewards that new businesses can provide our local communities are unparalleled. 

Bringing new and innovative education to Northern Minnesota.  All Minnesota youth deserve the best tools to succeed. We need to explore options for our youth to learn trades and vocations in the High School setting as an important goal for not only for our area, but for our state. Educating and supporting our youth is the best way to build and invest in a prosperous future and keep young Minnesotans and their families in our prospering in Northern Minnesota.

The brave men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping our communities safe are under attack.  Public Safety is a core function of government and something we expect our tax dollars to provide.  As your State Representative, I will always continue support our law enforcement officers and all emergency services personnel.

It has been said before me and it will be said long after me.  Mining is our past, present, and future.  I will always stand up and defend our men and women of labor who deliver the taconite that builds our world.  I will continue to advocate for the the future of critical mineral mining and what it can mean to the future of our Iron Range.  The critical minerals we have been so lucky to find are key to bringing our best days to reality.
