Friends and Family ~  Happy New Year!

2012 is going to be a great campaign season ~

Thank you for visiting my website. It is my honor and civic duty to serve the residents of Woodbury and Landfall, Minnesota.  It was definitely a challenging first session, and although very disappointing to me that the state shut down, progress was made.  The agreed upon legislative budget bills flattened the projected cost curves, and brought forth much needed reforms in the way our State delivers services.

A briefing on of the final budget bills can be viewed by clicking on the "Links" tab above. The full language of each bill is contained on the State of Minnesota Legislative website.

For the 2011-2012 legislative term, I will work on the following committees:  Education Reform, Commerce Reform, Jobs and Economic Development, and Public Safety. I also serve as the Speaker's appointee on the Workers' Compensation Advisory Council.

I look forward to continuing to serve you, thank you for your support!
