Because of my prior career in global manufacturing where I saw the excess and waste, and now working with veterans experiencing homelessness, I don’t add things to my life unless I am really sure it fills a specific use. I also love the brand’s mission of helping women and children in India.

Today, let’s pray for them. And let’s get to work to ensure the right resources are in place to care for our veterans, service members, and their families.

As a future state senator, I am interested in how all communities across MN can thrive.

We visited the Minnesota Discovery Center while a holiday small business fair was underway. My day culminated with a holiday parade in downtown Virginia. I also discovered that my sister-in-law grew up only a handful of miles from Steve, and they attended high school together.

I learned about how mining technology has evolved over the years, how the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB) has used state taxes on taconite production for economic development in the region, and what mining land can become once reclaimed.

Veterans service organizations account for 10% of charitable gambling revenues in the state. As a state senator, I will fight for legislation to ensure our small local charities can continue their missions across MN.

For the past three years, I was proud to stand with ACM at the capitol advocating for pro-charitable gambling legislation as The American Legion Department of Minnesota legislative chair.

Our community and state needs her voice in the State Senate."

She’ll bring that same integrity and courage to the State Senate. She understands how education shapes our workforce, our families, and our communities, and she shows up for students and educators when it matters.

Kristy has been that kind of leader on the Maple Grove City Council—leading with heart and a commitment to equity and excellence.

“She has been a strong advocate for equity, opportunity, and especially for our veterans—a fight she carries with deep passion and purpose."

Kristy is exactly the person we need at the Capitol to continue that work. She has my full support.”
