Dear Neighbors,

The citizens of Inver Grove Heights, South St. Paul, and Sunfish Lake are hard working. Many have families and friends that are much more important to them than a local political office. I appreciate the lifestyle we have in this part of the state.

I am running as the Republican endorsed candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in order to preserve that lifestyle - not only to preserve it, but to make it better.

For centuries, every generation has passed an inheritance of freedom, prosperity, and peace to the next generation to the best of their ability. They fought against evil, sacrificed, and hoped that they could build upon what their parents had achieved.

Oftentimes, they succeeded. Sometimes, they did not. The outcome of their efforts depended on whom they chose to represent them.

Minnesota is going through a time when good leadership is needed. For a while, we could ride on the backs of a roaring U.S. economy, and capitalize on its success, no matter which decisions were made. Today, we are faced with a different scenario.

Today, we face higher costs of living due to taxes, energy prices, and many other factors. Our district, and Minnesota as a whole, needs good leadership. We need a person to represent the middle class. We need someone who recognizes that everyone can become something great in this terrific nation of ours. We need smaller and less government in the belief that we as citizens are able to spend and invest our hard earned dollars more wisely and efficiently than government might.

Friends, this is why I am running to be your representative.
