Protecting Girls’ & Women’s Sports

Fair competition for female athletes

I strongly support girls’ and women’s sports. We must protect the safety, fairness, and competitive integrity of the opportunities created for female athletes.

• After puberty, males generally develop greater muscle mass, bone density, strength, and speed, a clear competitive advantage in the vast majority of sports.
• Even a small number of biological males in female sports can displace hundreds of girls who have invested years of hard work and sacrifice. We saw it in the recent MSHSL Girls Softball championship, where a single biological male dominated the field.
• Trans-identifying males have competed in more than 10,000 female sports events, displacing tens of thousands of women and girls from teams, podiums, records, and opportunities created for them.

Fraud in Minnesota Government

Protect every taxpayer dollar

For years, DFL leaders dismissed fraud as a Republican talking point and called their spending a “Magic Money Tree.” Recent findings from the U.S. Attorney paint a very different picture.

• $9B+Estimated fraud in Minnesota, per the U.S. Attorney
• 40%State budget growth under the 2023–24 DFL trifecta
• $18BSurplus spent by DFL lawmakers
• $10BIn new taxes to feed more spending

What we need now

• Immediate, thorough audits, starting with the programs and agencies that expanded most under the trifecta
• Accountability for those who enabled the abuse
• Aggressive recovery of stolen taxpayer dollars

Support for the Second Amendment

Shall not be infringed

The right to keep and bear arms is essential to the security of a free state, the right of self-defense, and individual liberty. New restrictions burden law-abiding citizens while doing little to stop criminals who ignore the law.

I support

• Eliminating the duty to retreat where a person is lawfully present and reasonably fears for their safety HF 13
• More accessible carry permits, including lifetime permits HF 17
• Focusing resources on prosecuting dangerous criminals who misuse firearms
• Responsible ownership and education without new barriers for honest people

I will continue to oppose registration, confiscation schemes, and storage mandates that criminalize ordinary gun owners.

High Property Taxes & Local Control

Stop pricing Minnesotans out of their homes

Counties across Minnesota are proposing double-digit levy increases, and even those holding the line are still raising levies year after year. State spending and policies are driving up costs for local taxpayers.

• The DFL has pushed unfunded mandates and cost shifts onto counties, including new requirements under the Minnesota African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act and expanded cost-sharing for disability waiver and long-term services programs.
• Without full state funding, local property taxpayers are left to make up the difference.
• County and local officials live in the communities they serve. When decisions are made closer to home, there’s less waste and taxpayers have a stronger voice.
