Thank you for visiting my website.

I am serving my first term in the Minnesota Senate, representing the communities of :

Shakopee     Credit River Twp     Louisville Twp
     Prior  Lake     Jordan

Jackson Twp
     Spring Lake Twp      Sand Creek Twp      St Lawrence Twp

Sitting on the Commerce, Education, Higher Education and Transportation Committees have helped me to focus on three main areas:

• Create a favorable economic climate to create jobs and investment.

• Education that prepares students to compete in the global economy.

• Allow local governments to be responsive to their community’s needs by reducing unnecessary mandates.

As a member of the Prior Lake-Savage School Board, we proved that differing opinions can work together to overcome big problems and make a positive difference. When I joined the School Board we faced a $1 million deficit and were borrowing $3 million to cover expenses. We didn’t always agree, but we worked it out. In the end, we were successful because we worked as a team.

This is the approach I use in St. Paul.

Giving $50 won’t cost you one penny.

You can give $50 per person ($100 per couple) to our campaign and get fully reimbursed through the PCR Program, Minnesota’s Political Contribution Refund Program. You may do this once a year to one candidate per year.
