I’m a lifelong Minnesotan – born and raised here, a Vietnam veteran, a husband of 44 years, a father of 4, and now a grandfather of ten. Minnesota is home, and it has shaped every chapter of my life.

I was a soldier so I know how to fight. I was a legislator, so I know how to serve. I will fight for our way of life and serve Minnesota with all that I have.

Through all of this experience, I learned an important lesson:

Leadership means standing your ground, doing what’s right, and earning the trust to get things done.

And right now, Minnesota needs that kind of leadership again.

Families are being squeezed by rising costs from the failed leadership of Biden – all while Democrats in Minnesota are allowing your tax dollars to be given to fraudsters.

Small businesses are weighed down by mandates.

Communities are being ignored by those in power.

And a small activist fringe has pulled the Democrats far away from the values of everyday Minnesotans.

This race is bigger than politics.

It’s about restoring affordability, accountability, and opportunity in Minnesota where people can afford to live, work, and raise their families.

That is the mission of this campaign – and I’m asking you to join me at the start of it. >>>
