All Minnesota communities are strongest when connected.

Whether we are driving a load of grain to

market on a township road, or driving a

busload of children to school, safe roads

and bridges are  essential to success.

We must make the investments to

border-to-border broadband access, 

updates to our drinking and sewage

treatment systems, public rural transit

expansion in an effort  to provide rural

revitalization.

​

By making meaningful investments in

community infrastructure including affordable housing, utility systems, transportation and broadband - we are making communities stronger.  By increasing County Program Aid, School Aid, and Local Government Aid, local property taxes will be reduced. 

​

I was proud to partner with Senator Frentz to pass legislation to acquire the funding to pay for a 4 lane expansion of Highway 14 from Nicollet to New Ulm. We now are in a position to finally finish the highway from Nicollet to Rochester, greatly improving the safety and access from end to end. 

In 2021 I will work to do the following:

• Sustainable, comprehensive funding​ of our transportation system

• Investment in broadband internet

• Increase to LGA & CPA to reduce local property tax burden

• Increase affordable housing options by working together with regional partners

• Prioritizing drinking and sewage systems in future bonding legislation
