Joe's Platform

Dead and diseased ash trees have suddenly appeared in our district, and residents are finding the cost of removal burdensome. I want the state government to offer grants to cities and small towns within our district to assist with tree removal.

Landlords should not be allowed to charge application fees for rental properties, as this is an unfair burden on the economically disadvantaged.

The choice to proceed with a pregnancy should be a private matter solely between the pregnant person and healthcare provider.

The strength of an economy is directly tied to the capabilities of its constituents. To enhance 23B's appeal and competitiveness as a destination for business relocation, we need state aid to increase the variety of educational options and vocational skills available to our students.  

Investing in infrastructure is paramount for many reasons. It bolsters economic development by attracting businesses, mitigating income disparity, and delivering vital community services.

Tax revenue belongs to my constituents and it should be utilized efficiently by minimizing fraud, waste, and abuse.

Minnesota's most valuable asset, its natural beauty, bolsters a substantial tourism industry. Maintaining a pristine environment is crucial for the state's economy and the well-being of future generations.

I support alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar,  that produce fewer carbon emissions than coal. Generating capacity must be maintained to guarantee system reliability. 

Minnesota's rules and regulations must be systematically reviewed to eliminate unnecessary, outdated, and duplicative requirements. I propose that a permanent commission be established with the power to eliminate unnecessary rules and regulations.  

My father and uncles fought to protect our country from tyrants. I don't want a dictator running our country.

Our elections are the most secure in the world. Some say the people who attacked the Capital on January 6th to violently overthrow the 2020 election are patriots. They are not. Those convicted and sentenced are not patriots, they are criminals.
