Friends,

​

I’m a Minnesota kid. I was born in Pipestone and grew up in towns like Mabel, Pine River, and Winnebago. My dad was a pastor, so our family moved where churches needed help, healing, and leadership. I grew up in parsonages, church basements, potluck dinners, and small-town communities where faith, family, and hard work were not slogans. They were simply how people lived.

​​

We didn’t have a lot of money, but we had what mattered most: faith, family, community, and a belief that if you worked hard and did the right thing, you could build a good life.

​​

That is the Minnesota I grew up in. It is also the Minnesota I am fighting for—and it’s why I’m running for Congress in Minnesota’s Third Congressional District.

​​

CD3 is a winnable seat for Republicans — and with the right candidate who can connect with suburban families, independents, and conservatives alike, we can flip it. I believe I am that candidate.

​​

Today, too many families are working hard and playing by the rules, only to watch the cost of groceries, gas, and housing climb higher every month. Minnesotans aren’t asking for handouts. They’re asking for common sense and honest leadership.

​​

Common sense means secure borders, safe communities, strong families, and an economy that rewards work instead of punishing it. It means government should live within its means, because reckless spending in Washington always ends with working families paying the price.

​​

Here in Minnesota, we’ve seen what happens when government grows bloated, careless, and unaccountable. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been lost to fraud through broken programs, while families are told to keep paying more and expecting less. That is wrong, and it has to stop.

​​

I’m running because we need leaders who will fight for the people who still believe in faith, freedom, responsibility, and the American Dream. I will fight for lower costs, responsible spending, secure borders, stronger small businesses, public safety, affordable housing, and accountability for every tax dollar. I will stand up for Minnesota values and put our families, workers, and communities first.

 

I believe leadership matters. I believe truth matters. I believe character matters. And I believe Minnesota deserves a conservative voice in Washington who will fight with conviction and serve with integrity.

​​

I’m writing to you today because your voice carries weight in this process. I’m asking for your support as we build our movement. If you’re willing to stand with me, I’d welcome the chance to connect with you personally. Together, we can restore common sense, protect what makes this state and country strong, and leave a better future for the next generation.

​​

Thank you for your time, your prayers, and your belief in this campaign.

​​

God bless,
