Caucus Flyer SD36

  • Let’s reduce the size of state government and the budget so MN citizens keep more of their hard-earned money.
  • I am in favor of creating an Office of Inspector General – an independent oversight and investigative authority for state agencies.
  • Promote expanding ALL energy sources, especially abundant / affordable / clean coal, gas and nuclear to stabilize costs and energy for everyone.
  • Let’s remove all taxes on Social Security. (Seniors are losing their homes due to high property taxes.)
  • ONLY MN tax-paying citizens qualify for state tax-supported programs.
  • Encourage small business owners to grow by pulling back from high taxes and regulations.

” Without law and order, we are not a free people.”

  • As per our current laws: fully fund and staff our city police departments.
  • Allow law enforcement officers (LEO) to perform their jobs without being regulated by those without law enforcement experience.
  • Support schools’ staff to enforce school disciplinary policies that encourage respect and require consequences for misbehavior, even suspension if safety is a concern.

The Minnesota schools are at their lowest point in over 50 years falling from sixth in the nation to 19th. And did you know that almost 40% of the ENTIRE state budget supports public education? Yet, many districts are finding it hard to financially meet the burdens of unfunded state mandates. Less than half the students cannot read at their grade level and even fewer students master math and science at their grade level and this much money is being spent, something is very wrong with this picture.

Minnesotan’s taxes are rising by double digits in 2026, even after the state had a HUGE slush fund, the Democrats spent it all on programs that we cannot sustain. We are now the 6th HIGHEST TAXED state in the union.
