Here you can learn about my experience, where I stand on the issues and how to get involved.

Minnesota's Third Congressional District has been blessed with great leadership for nearly half a century by the service of Jim Ramstad and Bill Frenzel. Rather than politics, they were guided by the same common sense values I carry with me: fiscal responsibility, government that is both small and accountable, a strong national defense, a belief in pro-growth economic policies and a deep conviction that results matter.

Congress is broken.  And, if elected, I intend to help fix it.  We need new energy, new vision and forward-thinking leaders who appreciate the necessity for change.

I know the people of the Third District well and have represented both Edina and Eden Prairie in the State Legislature.  I've worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to control taxes and spending, ensure our schools are adequately funded and accountable, protect our environment, and make sure that Minnesota remains competitive in the global marketplace.

I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work on the difficult issues facing our state and nation today.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to get involved with the campaign. Together, we can take our message of common sense all the way to Washington!
