Real Courage for Real Solutions

I believe people want to send someone to Washington who’s not afraid to tell it like it is. Someone ready to roll up their sleeves and allow a seat at the table for everyone. Someone that works hard every day because they do, and someone that fights to keep the things that work and change the things that don’t.

I understand the issues that impact this part of the state because I’ve lived them. I grew up in a rural community and graduated from a rural school. I raised my family, worked our family farm, served on the school board, started a business, and served as State Senator in the Minnesota legislature right here in our district.

In the legislature, I advocated for farm families and fought for educational opportunities and job training, transportation improvements, health care reforms and public safety. In Congress, I will continue fighting for those issues along with economic and scientific innovation, trade, and investments in infrastructure, including housing, energy and broadband technology. 

Our ability to achieve our goals as individuals, families, businesses, and communities depends on our courage to work together for our future. I’m ready to go to work for you and want to be your congresswoman.
