The Issues

Government policies have made daily life increasingly expensive, from groceries to energy costs. The rising cost of transportation impacts the price of every consumer item, and energy independence is essential for economic stability. To revitalize Minnesota’s economy, we must implement policies that promote growth, support small businesses, and create well-paying jobs. Fiscal responsibility and pro-growth initiatives are crucial to reversing economic decline and ensuring long-term stability, making life more affordable for everyone.

We need to return to what works: teaching the fundamentals of literacy, math, science, and critical thinking. Students should be challenged to learn deeply while developing their own perspectives. Parents, as the first and most enduring educators, must be respected and involved at every stage of their child’s education. Our schools should serve all students by meeting their individual needs, adapting to post-pandemic realities, and offering diverse opportunities that spark creativity. With fair and flexible funding, local control should guide educational decisions, focusing on high expectations and academic rigor over ideological agendas to prepare students for true success.

Every individual and family deserves to feel safe, whether at home or in the community. Ensuring public safety is a fundamental responsibility of government. To protect our communities, we must provide law enforcement with the tools and support they need, while ensuring our judicial system upholds the laws. Holding offenders accountable is crucial, but we also recognize the importance of giving people the opportunity to make amends and access the resources and mental health support necessary to reintegrate as productive members of society. By strengthening our law enforcement and judicial systems, we can enhance the safety and security of all Minnesotans.
