League

Women

is
a
non-partisan

that

In

general

for
all
of
the
Minnesota
State
Legislative
seats
that
represent
residents
living

Minnesota,
state

census.
C
Hello:
everyone,
my
name
is
Elise
man,
it
is
spelled
like
Alice
and
I
am
running
to
be
your
next
state
senator
for
the
new
Senate
District
50,
which
includes
Edina
and
Bloomington
I,
am
a
practicing
physician.
I
work
in
the
ER
I
also
do
International
medicine
and
I
work
with
women
who
struggle
with
substance
use
disorders.
I
am
a
Brazilian.
Immigrant
I
am
a
mother
to
three
young
boys
and
I'm.
A
former
member
of
the
Minnesota
House
of
Representatives
in
2018
I
ran
for
the
house,
because
three
things
happened
in
my
life.
C
One
was
that
I
was
coming
home
from
work
a
little
bit
angry
more
and
more
each
day,
and
this
occurred
because
my
patients
were
not
getting
the
care
that
they
needed.
They
I
would
get
phone
calls
from
the
pharmacy.
From
my
patient,
saying,
I
can't
get
the
meds
you
prescribed
they're
too
expensive.
My
insurance
won't
cover
it
or
I
can't
get
the
test
that
you
want
me
to
get
it's
too
expensive.
My
insurance
won't
cover
it,
and
so
I
was
coming
home.
Pretty
angry
on
many
days
of
the
week.
C
Shortly
after
I
went
to
provide
medical
care
in
a
Syrian
refugee
camp
and
there
I
saw
more
human
suffering
than
I
had
ever
imagined
was
possible
shortly
after
that,
I
went
to
Puerto
Rico
to
provide
care
after
Hurricane,
Maria
and
I
saw
an
entire
island
of
people
of
American
citizens
who
were
purposefully
left
to
fend
for
themselves,
and
so
tired
of
watching
human
suffering.
C
That
will
increase
your
drug
prices
without
any
oversight
or
when
you
go
to
the
pharmacy
to
get
your
medicines
and
the
pharmacist
tells
you
that
you
can't
get
it
because
your
formulary
has
changed.
That's
the
work
of
pbms,
so
our
law
is
working
to
change.
That
I
also
established
the
rare
disease
advisory
Council,
which
is
now
a
national
hub
for
families
and
for
Physicians
who
are
dealing
with
in
treating
rare
diseases.
C
I
was
a
founding
member
of
the
environmental
action
caucus
I
carried
bills,
to
decrease
our
dependence
on
plastic
and
to
keep
our
Waters
and
air
clean
and
I
was
able
to
decrease
the
out-of-pocket
costs
for
families
who
have
children
with
disabilities,
and
this
bill
was
especially
important
to
me
because
to
have
someone
come
up
to
you
and
say:
I
can
now
afford
my
my
child's
treatment
because
of
what
you
did
is.
It
was
really
incredibly
special
and
all
of
those
things
were
done
in
a
bipartisan
way.
C
We
have
and
had
a
divided
legislature,
and
so
to
get
those
things
done.
We
had
to
work
across
the
aisle
and
that's
exactly
what
I
did
2020
came
and
so
did.
Kova
19
and
I
did
not
seek
re-election
at
that
time,
because
I
went
back
to
work
at
the
hospital
full
time.
That's
that
was
where
I
was
most
needed
at
the
time,
and
so
that
was
a
decision
I
had
to
make.
But
now
you
know
people
still
come
up
to
me
with
their
stories
about
their
struggles
and
what
makes
life
difficult
for
them.
C
So
there's
so
many
stories
still
out
there
and
there's
so
much
work
that
still
needs
to
be
done.
That
I
decided
to
run
again
and
honestly,
it's
not
something
I
plan
to
do
but
again
with
so
much
left
to
do.
I
I
just
didn't
want
to
sit
at
home
and
do
nothing
and
so
to
me
the
the
bills
that
I
will
continue
to
write
are
going
to
be
coming
from
the
community
like
they
did
before,
and
so
because
to
me,
legislating
is
not
an
isport.
It
is
a
Wii
Sport
right.
C
D
Thank
you
for
giving
me
a
few
minutes
of
your
time
today
to
tell
you
about
myself
and
our
campaign
for
state
senate.
My
name
is
Doug
Fulton
and
I'm
running
for
district
50
senate
seat,
which
is
in
the
district
that
includes
Bloomington
much
of
Bloomington
and
much
of
Edina.
My
wife,
Cindy
and
I
have
lived
in
the
district
for
22
years,
and
we've
raised
our
kids
here.
Our
oldest
daughter
and
her
husband
have
blessed
us
with
our
first
grandchild.
D
We
have
a
son
who's,
studying
engineering
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
and
we
have
two
kids
still
to
get
through
High
School,
our
youngest
daughter,
Anna
who's,
a
we
adopted
from
Guatemala
when
she
was
a
young
baby,
I
can't
believe
she's
going
to
high
school
this
year
and
she's
learning
how
to
pass
her
driving
test
this
summer.
So
my
how
time
passes?
D
Let
me
tell
you
for
the
past,
50
years,
I
have
been
building
and
running
a
company
consulting
company
in
this
in
in
this
market,
representing
companies,
helping
them
lease
and
buy
real
estate
and
Cindy
and
I
have
are
very
involved
in
our
activities.
We've
been
involved
in
our
our
business
associations
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
to
our
website
Fulton
for
senate.com
and
read
more
about
that.
D
D
So
I'm
willing
to
put
my
35
years
of
business
experience
and
negotiating
experience
and
22
years
of
living
in
this
District
to
work
in
the
hope
that
new
voices
like
mine
can
help
solve
some
of
the
challenges
that
our
community
has.
So,
where
am
I
going
to
focus?
What
we're
hearing
from
people
today
and
there
will
be
other
issues,
but
the
biggest
issues
are
crime
school
and
keeping
the
state
of
Minnesota
accountable
on
the
school
on
the
crime
issue,
we're
going
to
focus
on
reducing
crime
in
our
communities.
D
Last
year
there
were
a
hundred
murders
and
over
700
carjackings
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
and
those
crimes
have
crept
into
our
communities.
We
know
that
we
see
that
every
day
we
we
we
read
about
it
every
day.
We
need
to
fully
engage
and
support
our
law
enforcement
officers
and
give
them
the
resources
and
the
Partnerships
to
turn
policing
into
into
an
offensive
strategy
instead
of
a
defensive
strategy,
and
we
need
to
get
the
offenders
off
the
streets
and
into
jail
or
into
Rehabilitation.
D
D
Our
neighborhoods,
our
communities
and
our
property
values
require
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
school
curriculum
reflects
the
standards
of
the
very
best
education
systems
in
the
world,
with
a
focus
on
this
on
critical
study
areas
and
our
parents
need
to
be
involved
as
stakeholders
in
that
process,
and
we
also
need
to
support
our
kids,
who
continue
to
suffer
from
the
school
shutdowns.
We
need
to
invest
in
mental
health,
counseling
resources
and
additional
assistance
for
kids
that
need
it.
D
We
need
to
keep
our
schools
safe,
and
we
should
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
provide
the
very
best
Security
Services
there
are,
and
then
lastly
I'm
going
to
focus
on
keeping
our
government
accountable
to
us.
We
live
in
a
state
in
a
community
that
has
rich
in
resources
and
public
services,
but
we've
pushed
too
hard.
D
We
have
one
of
the
highest
property
tax
rates
in
the
in
the
in
the
country,
we're
among
the
highest
tax
states
for
personal
income,
we're
in
the
top
five
for
commercial
property
taxes
and
we're
one
of
the
few
states
that
still
taxes,
Social
Security
benefits
we're
losing
people
and
businesses,
and
we
need
to
get
more
competitive
our
communities,
especially
because
we're
we're
not
we
are.
We
are
in
such
a
robust
business
Community
with
all
those
Office
Buildings,
manufacturing,
centers
and
facilities
in
our
towns.
D
We
need
those
businesses
to
succeed,
so
crime,
schools,
State
accountability
and
more
issues
and
more
issues
as
I
discuss
with
people
throughout
the
campaign.
So
thank
you
for
listening
to
me
today.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
I
have
the
experience
and
the
time
living
in
this
District
to
bring
real
solutions
to
our
challenges.

you

Thank
you.
E
I
am
the
endorsed
Republican
candidate
running
for
state
representative
here,
as
a
young
woman
born
in
the
United
States
to
Somali
immigrants,
I,
understand
two
diverse
cultures
and
believe
and
appreciate
the
opportunities
and
freedoms
we
have
in
the
United
States
I'm,
not
a
politician,
I,
never
thought
I'd
run
for
a
political
office
in
my
life
as
a
child
of
first
generation
Somali
immigrants
I
want
to
give
every
Minnesotan
the
same
opportunity
for
a
great
education,
safe
communities
and
secure
for
themselves.
The
American,
Dream.
E
I'm
running
because
I'm
concerned
by
the
challenges
we
have
today
in
our
state
I
believe
that
I
can
no
longer
sit
on
the
sidelines
as
I
campaign
through
the
district
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
all
and
better
understanding
your
thoughts,
ideas
and
concerns.
We
need
a
solution's
first
attitude
and
state
government
if
elected
I
will
bring
my
personal
story
and
business
experience
to
make
our
cities
and
state
safer
and
more
prosperous
and
I
look
forward
to
working
together.
E
E
At
what
point
must
this
stop
I
plan
to
use
my
passion
to
fight
for
safer
Community,
bringing
back
respectful
rhetoric,
policies
that
support
law
enforcement
and
victims
of
crime
mental
health?
My
personal
experience
in
mental
health
has
fostered
my
passion
for
this
issue.
Minnesotans
of
all
ages
are
facing
a
mental
health
crisis,
especially
our
children,
seniors
and
communities
of
color
I
intend
to
place
a
greater
focus
on
our
Mental
Health
Services
for
minnesotans.
It's
something
that
I've
been
involved
in
since
I
was
young.
E
Mental
health
treatment
and
solutions
are
very
important
and
I
want
to
raise
awareness
of
this
issue
in
our
state's
government.
Our
mental
health
system
is
in
desperate
need
of
for
reform
and
appropriate
funding.
This
will
be
one
of
my
main
prior
primary
focuses
as
your
next
leader
I
believe.
We
need
a
meaningful
State
dialogue
for
significant
positive
change,
jobs
and
economy.
F
F
So
this
new
this
new,
this
November
as
I'll,
be
running
for
50a,
which
will
include
a
portion
of
Bloomington,
is
going
to
be
a
new
experience
for
me
of
representing
two
cities,
so
I
hope
to
meet
many
of
you
as
I
knock
on
your
door
as
I
hold
community
events
and
and
look
forward
to
meeting
you
and
learning
more
about
Bloomington
I've
been
doing
a
little
bit
of
research
and
and
I
can
tell
you.
Wilmington
is
significantly
bigger
than
Edina
by
about
30
000,
so
that
was
kind
of
interesting
to
learn.
F
F
F
My
twins
are
12
and
they're
in
middle
school,
and
my
son
Josh
is
in
third
grade
he's
a
rising
fourth
grader,
so
for
them
their
our
house
is
a
very
busy
household
and
I
ran
for
office
many
years
ago
with
the
idea
that
public
service
was
something
that
was
really
instilled
in
me
as
a
child.
I
volunteered
on
many
commissions
and
Boards
in
Edina
and
throughout
the
state.
I
was
a
guardian
ad
litem
for
many
years
working
in
the
child
protection
court
system
to
represent
the
child's
best
interest.
F
Maybe
getting
a
driver's
license
or
their
loved
one
is
stuck
in
another
country
and
they
they
need
help
getting
their
mom
here,
they're
they
don't
care
whether
or
not
I'm
a
Democrat
or
a
Republican,
and
it's
the
same
thing.
When
I
bring
my
kids
to
a
doctor,
I,
don't
care
whether
that
person
has
the
same
ideology
with
me.
I
I
want
them
to
help
me
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we
expect
out
of
our
elected
officials
and
that's
definitely
what
you'll
get
from
me
is
over
the
pandemic.
F
I
can
tell
you
I
helped
so
many
businesses,
so
many
constituents
and
many
of
them
said
for
the
they
had
never
even
had
a
relationship
with
a
Democrat
or
talked
to
a
Democrat
before
and
I
think
we
as
we
look
to
the
Future
and
as
we
look
to
this
next
election.
If
you
look
at
the
last
60
years
of
the
legislature,
we've
had
to
fight
a
government.
We
we
have
minnesotans
like
balance.
F
So
as
we
elect
and
we
go
to
The
Ballot
Box,
this
November
I,
you
know
I,
ask
you
to
vote
for
me,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
elect
pragmatic
people
that
are
not
reading
things
that
are
tagline
for
parties.
That
is
not
helpful.
It's
not
helpful
for
our
communities
and
so
whether
or
not
you've
voted
Republican
your
whole
life
or
democrat
your
whole
life
I.
Do
ask
you
vote
for
me
or
consider
me,
because
the
reality
is
is
I.
Do
get
things
done
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
legislature.
F
I
was
the
one
that
got
the
last
bill
passed.
It
was
a
90
million
dollar
investment
in
mental
health
and
I'm,
proud
of
that
work,
along
with
one
of
my
colleagues
representative
Albright,
who
is
a
republican
I've
gotten
things
done
for
Edina
and
I
will
get
things
done
for
Bloomington.
So
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
just
so
you
know,
I
serve
on
education.
That's
my
specialty
area
as
well
as
public
safety
and
Veterans
and
Labor's
Affairs.
So
look
forward
to
seeing
you
around.
Thank
you.
G
Hi,
my
name
is
Beth
Beebe
and
I'm
running
for
state
representative
in
Senate,
District
50,
B
I've
lived
in
Bloomington
for
22
years
with
my
husband
and
our
two
sons.
I
grew
up
in
St,
Louis,
Park
and
graduated
from
high
school.
There
I
have
a
degree
in
social
work
from
Bethel,
University
and
a
degree
in
elementary
education
from
San
Jose
State
I've
always
been
committed
to
my
neighborhood
and
Community.
Wherever
I
have
lived,
I
know
my
neighbors
and
cultivate
relationships
with
residents
throughout
Bloomington.
G
G
G
As
a
proven
leader,
I
lived
in
Japan
for
three
years:
developing
English
classes
for
students
of
various
levels
and
ages
as
a
proven
leader,
I
co-founded
Pioneer
Family
Academy
in
San,
Jose
California,
an
enrichment
school
for
homeschooled
students
that
is
still
striving,
20
thriving
27
years
later.
As
a
proven
leader,
I
saw
a
need
and
a
disadvantaged
Bloomington
neighborhood
near
me
and
began
meeting
needs
on
my
own
others
joined
me
and
we
co-founded
connections
to
help
these
residents
and
their
children.
G
Statewide
as
a
community
advocate
I
also
have
worked
with
immigrants
as
they
adjust
to
life
in
the
U.S,
whether
it's
providing
rides,
filling
out
paperwork
or
connecting
them
to
resources,
as
a
community
advocate,
I,
see,
needs
and
I
meet
them,
as
I
did
with
the
connections
Outreach
to
Children
and
Families.
My
husband
and
I
have
also
provided
housing
on
long-term
times
for
people
in
need,
as
a
wise
decision
maker,
I
research
issues
from
a
variety
of
perspectives
and
choose
primary
sources
over
media
I
want
to
be
wise,
I
think
things
through
and
seek
advice.
G
This
has
been
one
of
my
strengths
as
a
school
board
member.
As
far
as
the
issues
Public
Safety
is
high.
I
support
law
enforcement
at
the
local
and
state
level,
there's
no
room
for
defunding
the
police.
When
crime
has
risen
to
all-time
highs,
Minnesota
residents
deserve
to
live
where
they
are
protected
and
criminals
are
persecuted
to
the
fullest
extent
of
the
law.
I
will
support
measures
that
promote
Public
Safety.
G
On
the
issue
of
Education,
you
know
that's
strong
for
me.
Well,
decisions
are
made
at
the
state
level
that
are
impacting
School
programming,
mandates
that
remove
the
local
control,
and
this
affects
all
districts
across
the
state,
and
there
are
concerns
people
are
bringing
to
me
about
standards,
funding
parental
rights,
learning
loss
from
covet
impacts.
G
I
too,
am
concerned
about
these
and
believe
that
there
is
a
need
to
address
these
as
your
State
Rep
High
state
taxes
are
also
a
factor
causing
residents
to
leave
Minnesota
for
other
states.
Taxes
are
a
concern.
I
know
that
there
are
over
ten
thousand
people
that
have
moved
out
of
Minnesota
in
since
2019
to
2021,
and
taxes
is
one
of
the
reasons
as
found
by
the
IRS.
G
Well,
low-income
residents
I
know
are
struggling
to
buy
medications,
food
and
gas,
because
costs
are
increasing
as
well
as
taxes.
One
of
my
potential
opponents
opponents
wants
to
increase
the
gas
tax
on
top
of
already
high
prices.
That
can't
happen.
We
have
to
deal
with
what's
happening
now.
I
want
to
come
with
wisdom.
I
want
to
come
with
commitment.
I
am
a
proven
leader,
a
community
advocate
and
a
wise
decision
maker,

Hello,
this
is
State
Representative,
Steve
Elkins
I'm
here
to
ask
for
your
support
for
my
and
my
bid
for
re-election
to
represent
Western
Bloomington
on
the
Minnesota
House
of
Representatives.
My
wife,
Judy
and
I
have
been
lived
in
our
home
near
Lake
Normandale
for
almost
40
years
now
our
daughters
are
products
of
the
Bloomington
school
system
from
when
they
went,
attended,
Elementary
School
at
Hillcrest
to
their
graduation
from
from
Jefferson
High,
School
and
Judy
and
I
were
active
volunteers.
H
All
the
way
through
to
their
graduations
I,
have
over
25
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
Bloomington
as
a
city
council,
member
planning,
commissioner
Housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority,
commissioner
Metropolitan
Council
representative,
and
for
the
last
four
years
as
your
state
representative
at
the
Capitol,
where
I'm
the
vice
chair
of
the
local
government
committee,
I'm
an
economist
by
education
and
I
work
for
an
information
technology.
Apology
for
the
last
25
years
of
my
career,
the
last
10
of
which
were
in
healthcare.
Health
I.T,
which
gives
me
experience
in
both
Healthcare
and
I.T.
H
I've
used
that
experience
gained
through
my
life
experiences
to
develop
legislation
related
to
local
government,
Information,
Technology
transportation
and
health
care,
I'm
committed
to
defending
the
rights
of
women
and
have
been
endorsed
by
Era
now
and
Planned.
Parenthood
I'm,
strongly
committed
to
the
cause
of
Public
Safety
and
equal
justice
under
the
law.
Judy
and
I
are
actively
involved
in
Mom's
demand
action,
which
has
named
me
a
Minnesota
gun
sense
candidate.
For
my
efforts
to
pass
commonsense
gun
safety
legislation,
Judy
is
a
retired
teacher
and
the
two
of
us
have
always
been
strongly
supportive
of
bloomington's.
H
Public
schools
and
I
have
been
endorsed
by
the
Minnesota
Education
Association.
For
my
efforts
to
secure
funding
for
our
schools,
I
believe
that
climate
change
is
real
and
from
my
position
on
the
transportation
committee,
I
have
worked
to
promote
the
adoption
of
electric
vehicles
of
all
kinds,
because
transportation
is
now
the
single
biggest
contributor
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
Minnesota
and
I
have
been
recognized
by
the
Sierra
Club
and
conservation
Minnesota.
H
For
those
efforts,
I
have
been
a
strong
advocate
for
providing
sufficient
Workforce
housing
by
both
providing
increased
funding
and
by
through
my
own
regulatory
reform
initiatives.
I
support,
Universal
assets
to
access
to
health
care
and
I've
developed
a
legislation
to
expose
and
reduce
the
high
cost
of
both
drugs
and
health
care
services
and
I've,
been
endorsed
by
the
Minnesota
Nurses
Association
I
have
consistently
supported
the
rights
of
workers
and
have
been
endorsed
by
the
AF
of
lcio
and
numerous
individual
unions.
H
I've
leveraged
my
my
expertise
in
information
technology
to
ensure
that
the
transition
from
mnlars
to
the
replacement,
mindrise
season
system
for
driver's
licenses
and
vehicle
registration
would
go
smoothly
and
it
has
Rick
King.
The
chair
of
the
governor's
Blue
Ribbon
Council
on
Information
Technology
reform
walked
up
to
me
at
a
recent
Chamber
of
Commerce
event
and
simply
said
Steve
you're,
making
a
difference
and
when
it
comes
to
Information
Technology.
As
a
member
of
the
bicameral
bipartisan
legislative,
I.T
caucus
I
really
think
that
I
am
around
the
capitol
I'm.
H
As
an
example,
I
have
been
working
with
legislators
in
several
other
states
to
draft
comprehensive
consumer
data
privacy
legislation
for
three
years
now
and
will
be
presenting
my
work
on
that
topic
at
a
National
Conference
of
state
legislators
Workshop
in
Denver
this
summer
by
next
January
I
expect
to
have
a
bill
that
is
worthy
of
passage
for
consideration
in
the
next
legislature.
By
voting
to
elect
me,
you
will
be
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
see
that
right
work
through
to
fruition,
which
will
provide
you
with
the
data
privacy
rights
that
you
deserve.
H
I'm
doing
the
same
kind
of
work
on
my
health
care
on
my
housing
on
my
Transportation
work
and
by
returning
me
to
the
Capitol
this
this
year,
you'll
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
see
those
efforts
all
through
to
fruition.
Thank
you
very
much
and
for
more
information
you

Thank
you.
I
I
Currently
I
am
the
state,
senator
and
I
represent
Bloomington
and
Richfield
in
the
Minnesota
Senate,
for
the
three
terms
that
I've
been
in
the
state
senate.
I'm
proud
of
the
work
I've
done
to
focus
on
local
projects,
such
as
bringing
funding
for
restoration
of
the
old
Cedar
Bridge
to
our
community.
I've
also
worked
to
fight
work
and
fight
for
reductions
in
prescription,
drug
prices,
I've
worked
to
strengthen
our
educational
system
and
have
especially
focused
on
Early
Childhood
care
and
education,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that
I
did
in
2020.
I
That
saw
the
passage
of
a
bill.
I
authored
the
Alex,
Smith
insulin,
affordability,
act,
and
this
was
a
first
in
the
nation
program
that
was
established
to
provide
an
emergency
supply
of
insulin
to
minnesotans,
who
are
faced
with
a
situation
where
they
can't
afford
their
next
next
insulin.
Supply
in
the
past
two
years
over
1100
minnesotans
have
accessed
this
program.
I
No
one
should
choose
to
ration
their
medications
or
die
from
not
being
able
to
afford
their
insulin
or
other
prescription
drugs,
and
we
need
to
keep
working
on
this
important
issue.
That's
affecting
a
great
deal
of
our
minnesotans
I
also
have
worked
on
bills,
as
I
said,
to
help
our
local
communities
and
bringing
bonding
requests
forward.
This
past
session
for
the
Bloomington
Public
Health
Building
and
the
Woodlake
Nature
Center
in
Richfield
looking
forward,
I
am
hoping
to
earn
your
vote
in
the
upcoming
election
coming
in
in
November
and
I.
I
I
I
am
working
on
ways
to
increase
the
affordability
and
access
to
high
quality
child
care
in
our
communities,
which
is
a
great
need
for
many
families
and
I
hope
that
we
will
work
hard
to
begin
to
address
in
a
more
substantial
way
preventing
gun
violence
in
our
communities.
These
are
just
some
of
my
priorities:
I
know
that
that
there
are
a
great
many
areas
that
we
need
to
work
on
in
our
community,
addressing
climate
change,
but
protecting
the
environment,
reforming
our
Criminal
Justice
System
further.
I
These
are
areas
that
I
hope
that
I
can
hear
from
you
what
your
priorities
are
over
the
next
few
months.
My
website
is
Wicklund
for
senate.com
and
I
hope
that
you'll
reach
out
to
me
contact
me
with
your
questions
and
concerns
and
again
I,
look
forward
to
seeing
you
on
the
doors
this
summer.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
J
Hi
I'm
Nathan
Coulter
I'm
honored
to
be
the
dfl
nominee
for
the
Minnesota
House
of
Representatives
in
District,
51b
I'm
excited
to
continue
serving
our
community
and
I'm
ready
to
get
to
work
every
election
year.
It
feels
like
we
hear
that
this
is
the
most
important
election
of
our
lives,
and
you
know
what
every
year
it's
true.
J
The
leadership
that
we've
shown
in
Bloomington
I
believe
can
be
a
model
for
taking
on
tough
but
needed
conversations
and
grounding
the
choices
we
make
in
our
shared
values
and
I'm
eager
to
bring
that
experience
to
the
Minnesota
house
I'm
running,
because
now,
perhaps
more
than
ever
before,
we
need
leadership.
That's
focused
on
working
hard
and
delivering
for
minnesotans,
as
we
think
about
the
things
that
I
know
are
on
folks.
J
These
are
issues
that
are
top
of
mind
for
so
many
of
us,
and
that
minnesotans
rightly
expect
our
leaders
to
act
on
it's
clear
that
we
simply
don't
have
time
to
waste
on
playing
games
or
partisan
one-upmanship
at
this
time.
Right
here
right
now,
we
need
leaders
who
will
work
in
good
faith
with
anyone
who
will
do
the
same,
but
who
will
never
back
down
from
a
fight.
J
That's
what
I've
been
on
the
Bloomington
city
council
and
that's
what
I'm
ready
to
be
as
our
next
state
representative,
I'm
eager
to
continue
this
conversation
at
the
doors
and
around
our
district
and
I'd
like
to
ask
for
your
vote
I'm
asking,
because
your
vote
is
more
than
just
expressing
a
preference.
Your
vote
is
an
investment
in
the
kind
of
Minnesota,
the
kind
of
community,
the
kind
of
future
you
want
to
see.
Please
check
out
my
website,
www.neighbors4nathan.com
and
don't
hesitate
to
give
me
a
call
if
you'd
like
at.
