WHAT MATTERS TO YOU?
Minnesota’s economy is strongest when people have access to good jobs, thriving businesses, and a government that protects taxpayer dollars instead of wasting them. Over the last four years, Minnesotans have seen both gains and losses — and too often, fraud, mismanagement, and inefficiency have held our economy back. My priority is restoring accountability, strengthening job growth, and ensuring Minnesota remains a place where families and businesses can rise together.
These issues matter to Chris and she will represent you in the MN House.
FRAUD
Fraud is undeniable — and accountability is non‑negotiable. For too long, fraud has drained resources from taxpayers, families, and the programs meant to support them.
Stopping fraud isn’t just a policy position — it’s a leadership imperative. Every dollar must be protected, every system monitored, and every violation is addressed swiftly and decisively.
JOB GROWTH
Workforce participation remains below pre‑pandemic levels, creating gaps in critical industries and slowing economic momentum.
Inflation and rising costs have strained families and employers, reducing consumer spending and limiting business expansion.
DECREASING
TAX BURDEN
Taxes are rising at a disproportionate rate. It is not compassionate to overburden the middle class or retirees on fixed income. It is not compassionate to continue to tax and spend without considering ways to make government more efficient and effective.
EFFECTIVE
GOVERNMENT
State government should serve people — not the other way around. I will champion transparency, eliminate waste, and demand measurable results. My leadership is rooted in accountability, operational excellence, and building systems that work.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Every Minnesotan should feel safe where they live and work.
Safe communities are the foundation of strong communities. I support law enforcement, fair judicial processes, and systems that hold people accountable.
EDUCATION
QUALITY
Statewide we have seen decreased education proficiency.
Every child deserves access to high‑quality education that prepares them for the future. She will support strong schools, empowered teachers, and systems that put students first.
