Fighting for lower taxes, stronger families, and opportunities in District 42.

The Issues

  • Eliminate state taxes on tips and overtime

  • Slash the income tax

  • Give citizens the power to roll back local property taxes through a petition-triggered election.

  • Phase out local property taxes for homeowners through voter-approved reform. This reform ends fiscally irresponsible projects while fully protecting school funding

Tax Relief for Working Families

Support Veterans and our Troops

  • Expand tax relief for honorably discharged veterans.

  • Improve benefits for National Guard members to retain service members in North Dakota.

  • Grow strategic investment in UAS and defense innovation tied to Grand Forks Air Force Base.

  • Support our law enforcement.

Protect Homeownership and our Farmland

  • Stop Wall Street and corporate investors from gobbling up single-family homes so Grand Forks neighborhoods stay stable for our kids and grandkids. 

  • Block foreign adversaries — especially Communist China — from buying North Dakota farmland.

Parents in Charge, Stronger Schools, Families First

  • Expand Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) to give families greater school choice.

  • Increase teacher pay through merit-based incentives and reduced administrative overhead.

  • Cap and stabilize tuition at the University of North Dakota to retain local talent.

  • Focus schools on core academics, trades, and workforce readiness.

  • Strengthen student mental health resources in partnership with schools and universities.

  • Strengthen parental rights in education and healthcare decisions.

  • Reduce regulations on oil, gas, and agriculture

  • Support law enforcement

  • Protect the unborn

  • Safeguard Second Amendment rights for all law-abiding citizens (including renters)
