I grew up on St. Paul’s East Side, where Minnesota’s hockey arenas helped shape my commitment to teamwork, perseverance, and community.   My friends call me “Tash”—a nickname given to me by my Hill-Murray coach, Bill Lechner—I  played goalie and later served as a goalie coach and team chaplain with Wes  Barrette’s  East  Side   

hockey program. 

I’ve raised a family and understand parents’ concerns about their rights, the cost of living, and having enough time to build a meaningful life with their children. I’ve also worked hard to build a business. Making payroll has taught me that staying on budget and solving hard problems aren’t optional—they’re responsibilities. I still work hard every day—now more than ever—to keep my business going, share my message, and earn your vote this November.

• Strengthen accountability in our justice system. Crime must have consequences.
• Improve our schools. Focus on academic achievement—scholars, not activists. Currently we are failing our district 622 kids and I will work hard to fix this. 
• Make our streets safer. Support our police officers and firefighters.
• Stop fraud and pursue recovery of stolen taxpayer dollars. Demand oversight and accountability.
• Common Sense focusing on what we can all agree on, affordable living, healthy kids, and safe communities.  
• Sensible: My focus is on helping our whole community thrive, prioritizing those who truly need help and resisting special interests that divert tax dollars from essential needs. Our taxes should serve the people and strengthen our communities

I’m working hard to earn your vote, and I’ll work even harder at the Capitol to put my words into action and earn your trust.
