As the founder of “Let Them Play Minnesota,” a grassroots movement that exploded to more than 25,000 members, I raised nearly $400,000 in less than a year. We demanded that Governor Walz reopen our schools and athletic programs in fall of 2020. We succeeded!  I understand the passion and energy it takes to get things done.

 

As a business owner, I learned to network and communicate to reach a shared goal. While other businesses are struggling to keep and retain employees, we created an environment where people are valued.

 

As a community volunteer with the Women’s Auxiliary, I served alongside my husband, who was a volunteer firefighter for 25 years. I understand the importance of community involvement and working together.
