ISSUES THAT MATTERS TO MINNESOTANS
Minnesotans don’t need more promises, they need leadership that understands the problems clearly, speaks honestly about them, and is prepared to act with discipline and accountability.
As Governor, my focus will be on confronting the issues that affect daily life across our state.
COST OF LIVING & AFFORDABILITY
Across Minnesota, families are feeling the pressure of rising costs from housing and utilities to groceries and transportation. Too many Minnesotans are working harder while falling further behind. Government must recognize that affordability is not a side issue. It is central to economic stability, family security, and long-term growth.
EDUCATION & WORKFORCE READINESS
Minnesotans invest heavily in education, yet too many students are graduating unprepared for college, careers, or skilled trades. Parents, teachers, and employers all see the disconnect between spending and outcomes. Our education system must once again reflect high expectations, accountability, and preparation for real life after school.
HOUSING & TAX REFORM
Home ownership is becoming harder to achieve and harder to maintain. Property taxes continue to rise unpredictably, placing pressure on families, seniors, and first-time buyers. Housing stability is foundational to strong communities, and tax systems should be fair, predictable, and transparent.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY & SMALL BUSINESS
Small businesses and workers are the backbone of Minnesota’s economy,
yet many face regulatory complexity, rising costs, and uncertainty.
Economic policy should reward work, encourage responsible risk-taking,
and support long-term growth across every region of the state.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY & TRANSPARENCY
State government has grown more complex, more expensive, and harder to navigate. Too often, programs continue without clear evidence that they are working. Minnesotans deserve a government that is transparent, accountable, and respectful of taxpayer dollars.
