How would you characterize the business climate in the East Metro and what role do businesses play in supporting quality of life issues in East Metro communities?
Business are booming and growing in the East Metro

What role do you think the State should have in attracting and retaining jobs, and what steps would you take to solicit new businesses to and retain existing businesses in the East Metro?

What policies, if any, would you support to help employers address our state’s critical labor shortage?

Do you support any specific employment-related proposals? If so, what steps would you take to understand the impact of a proposal on the many types of businesses in the East Metro and how would you define any exceptions to those policies?
- I do not know of any specific employment related proposals.
Public safety and rising crime rates are of serious concern to the business community and residents. What strategies or policies would you use to address public safety issues?
- I believe it is important to talk to law enforcement, nonprofits, churches to understand what is happening as it relates to public safety and how to reduce crimes rates in various communities. I believe it is also important for each person to take responsibility for the family members and loved ones.
What strategies or policies would you use to address transportation issues? Have your strategies or views changed on transportation since we’ve seen shifts in road use, public transportation use, work from home models, etc. due to the pandemic?
I have seen alot of development with the land, and to me, it has made the roads less safe to travel on, I wll recommend safety in development, as well as ways to keep people safe as it relates to transportation given the climate crisis the state is living through.
What strategies or policies would you use to address housing issues?
- Educate the public on how to keep themselves safe; offer home ownership opportunities for working professionals.
What are your priorities for the State’s budget? Are there any services currently provided by the State that you believe should be expanded, cut back or eliminated? Are there new opportunities to share services with other entities?
- I believe the State should invest heavily into reducing corruption and addressing Trafficking in Persons (TIP) who are here and causing significant harm to innocent communities.
What will you do to expand your district’s tax base?
The TAX Base is organized by Republicans who harass innocent and marginalized communities. I wil come up with a strategic system that addresses these issues without the abuse and violance on innocent marginalized communities.
How will you work with K-12 and post-secondary educational institutions and businesses to ensure our region develops and retains an educated workforce, and address the achievement gap?
I will work with professionals to find out what they recommend needs to happen within the educational system.
What is the role of the State in fostering increased minority- and women-owned businesses?
Very important for the state to invest in minority owned businesses like myself, my campaign and others. You will see how different people look at issues that unjustly impact them.
What further policies can the State of Minnesota adopt to help the business community recover from the COVID-19 pandemic?
Strongly come out against perpetrators of the COVID-19 pandemic. They must work on their issues in local/state and federal efforts. They should not put that on others.
Is there anything else you would like to share with voters not covered above?
