Service. Accountability. Results.
I’m running to represent Big Lake, Becker, Clear Lake, and our surrounding townships with disciplined leadership and a commitment to putting our communities first.
Growth is good but not if local families are left paying the bill.
That means holding large corporations accountable, protecting our infrastructure, and making sure every decision puts our communities first, not outside interests.

Top Campaign Priorities
We can grow responsibly, protect our communities, and plan for the future without asking local families to carry the burden.
#1: Government Accountability & Reducing Corporate Influence
Government should answer to voters not wealthy special interests and corporate money.
Strengthen transparency around independent political spending
Close coordination loopholes between campaigns and outside groups
Expand and modernize Minnesota’s Political Contribution Refund program
Increase disclosure requirements for major political expenditure
Increase transparency tied to large public subsidies and infrastructure projects
Support reforms that elevate grassroots donors and local voices
Opponents Approach:
Has not prioritized campaign finance transparency or anti-corruption reform legislation focused on reducing the influence of large political donors and outside spending groups.
Supports maintaining the current campaign finance framework rather than pursuing broader structural reforms to political spending and disclosure laws.
Has emphasized deregulation and business incentive policies while placing less focus on campaign finance accountability measures.
#2: AI Datacenter - Protecting Our Communities While Planning for the Future
Growth is coming but local families shouldn’t be left paying the bill.
Require corporations to cover infrastructure, grid, and water costs
No blank checks for large corporations
Independent third-party audits at every phase
Full public transparency before approvals
Local communities must have a real voice
Open to pausing expansion until safeguards are in place
Opponents Approach:
HF28 - As chief author of HF28, Shane Mekeland advanced legislation that reduces regulatory oversight to accelerate data center energy infrastructure, while my approach prioritizes requiring corporations to cover costs, ensuring transparency, and protecting local communities before expansion.
HF4153 - As chief author of HF4153, Shane Mekeland supported policies that ease water usage approvals and provide tax advantages for data centers, whereas I advocate for full public transparency, independent oversight, and ensuring corporations, not local families, bear the long-term costs.
HF4990 - As an author/coauthor of HF4990, Shane Mekeland backed expanded exemptions and incentives for data centers to encourage rapid development, in contrast to my position that growth should be paused or limited until strong safeguards, accountability, and community protections are in place.
#3: Reliable Energy & Grid Security
Reliable power isn’t optional and neither is protecting ratepayers.
Keep energy reliable and affordable
Support reviewing/lifting the nuclear moratorium
ONLY with:
Ratepayer protections
Transparent financing
Public oversight
Focus on grid resilience + affordability
Long term planning
Opponents Approach: Short-term, deregulation-first approach that risks long-term costs and instability.
