It has truly been an honor and privilege over the past two years to represent Woodbury and Landfall at the State Capitol.

In my first term, I have served as Vice-Chair of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee, and also filled several other key posts on the E-12 Education Committee, the Housing Policy and Finance and Public Health Finance Division, K-12 Education Finance Division, and the Labor and Consumer Protection Division.

As an English teacher at Woodbury Senior High School, I was particurlarly pleased to serve on the education committees and lead efforts to provide more voluntary all-day kindergarten to Minnesota children

If you honor me with re-election, I will continue to focus my bi-partisan work on issues important to us all--quality education, affordable and accessible health care, property tax relief, clean air and water, and responsible investments in our roads and infrastructure.

I look forward to an energetic, positive, issues-oriented campaign that is worthy of the residents of Woodbury and Landfall. We all share the goal of making our community an even better place in which to live, work, and raise a family. I will continue to find common ground and positive solutions for our community and our state!
