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
