What qualifies you to hold this position? As a Hastings councilmember since 2016, I also serve on the Dakota County Broadband Board & School District 200 Community Engagement Committee. Having worked in state and local government for 25 years, I have broad experience with law enforcement, business, and transportation officials. I hold a Master’s degree from Hamline University.
What would your top priorities be if elected? My top 3 priorities help our state prosper: 1) Develop more affordable housing and daycare options, 2) fully fund public education, pre-K through career training and 3) invest in infrastructure and foster development.
Politics has become very divisive in recent years, if elected, what would you do to improve the tone? I am committed to bringing our communities together by focusing on where we have common values. We can find solutions to our biggest challenges if we set aside our differences. With my experience as a civic leader, I know how to work across government jurisdictions and business communities to get things done for everyone in District 41B.
