My campaign welcomes you to consider how we can Better Minnesota. Yes, that's "better" as a verb. I want to bring your ideas and ensure your priorities are better met in the Legislature. We need to slow down the lawmaking process and make sure things work. We cannot take the expert testimony of agencies and national model policy committees without considering real implications for Minnesotans. We are blessed to have this fine land and good traditions of family values and economic opportunity. Those who largely achieve self-reliance in our community of cannot be overly burdened by the rubber-stamp welfare expansion.

We cannot ignore that the status quo of our public affairs has gotten out of hand. Trust has been blind and our Representatives have not figured things out. If District 58A sends me to implement changes and improve our future standings, I will work any or all of my fellow Legislators to reason out solutions that work.

I need your support to achieve these changes, to serve in my golden years. I have just retired from another business. I came to Minnesota as a government affairs executive of Northwestern Bell & AT&T three decades ago and have owned and operated a number of businesses and served on the City government boards of Burnsville and Lonsdale, the later is where I still reside with my wife. I have been involved in local political organizations and part of many statewide campaigns and have helped many candidates get elected. I would go to St. Paul able to hit the ground running with relationships with many of the players and no special interest agenda.

I promise that over the course of 2026, you'll get to know my work ethic, my fairness, and my openness to dialogue. I would like to serve as your State Representative in St. Paul. Please vote for me and please help me campaign for the majority of our community, from New Prague to Northfield.
