Dear Neighbors and Friends,
The 2024 legislative session is officially underway, and I’m proud to be back in the capital city advocating for you, our families, our freedoms, and our shared values.
Last year, Minnesotans saw firsthand the consequence of one-party control in St. Paul. Not only did Democrats blow through a nearly $20 billion surplus, grow government spending by 40%, and raise your taxes by nearly $10 billion, but they also sent the state into a projected budget deficit!
Now, more than ever, we need to restore balance in St. Paul and work to reduce families’ financial burden caused by record-setting inflation and high taxes. It’s time to eliminate the wasteful spending and stop pushing highly divisive policies like making Minnesota a Sanctuary State for illegal immigration or 'assisted' suicide for seniors.
You deserve a leader who fights for our families and state even when the battle is uphill, and we may seem outnumbered. I am honored to be that leader for you and the people of Credit River, Elko New Market, Lakeville, and the townships of Eureka and New Market.
Please take a moment to watch a brief video I recorded discussing the Four S’s that demonstrate the out-of-touch priorities of the Democrat majority heading into the 2024 legislative session:
- State Flag Re-design
- Sanctuary State Legislation
- School Resource Officers
- Senior Physician-Assisted Suicide
Please watch the short video message by clicking here or the photo below.
