Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you a Democrat or a Republican?
I am running as a Republican but reject the divisive tactics of partisan elites. My focus is on practical solutions and common ground to serve all Minnesotans, particularly the hardworking poor, with integrity and respect.
- How would you respond to President Trump’s policies if you were in office today?
As governor, my priority is Minnesota’s freedom, security, and prosperity. I support policies—such as tax cuts and deregulation—that reduce federal overreach and spur economic growth, which align with aspects of President Trump’s agenda. However, I evaluate every policy, regardless of source, based on its direct benefit to Minnesotans. Where policies protect children, curb fraud, or promote personal responsibility, I’m supportive. Where they fall short of Minnesota’s unique needs, I’ll advocate for our state’s sovereignty and the well-being of our people.
- What is your stance on transgender men participating in women’s sports?
I believe biological differences between males and females create unfair competitive imbalances in women’s sports. To ensure fairness and safety, I support policies that reserve women’s sports for biological females.
- What are your views on immigration and the role of immigrants in Minnesota, particularly regarding support for undocumented immigrants?
Minnesota thrives when its citizens are safe, secure, and prosperous. I welcome legal immigrants who enrich our culture and economy but oppose policies that incentivize illegal immigration, such as sanctuary cities, financial support, benefits, or driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants. These strain resources and undermine the rule of law. I also condemn human trafficking disguised as immigration, which exploits vulnerable people, especially children. My administration would enforce existing laws, secure communities, and prioritize assistance for citizens in need, like the hardworking poor, while dismantling criminal networks tied to illegal immigration.
- What is your stance on abortion and access to abortion care for adults and minors, including late-term abortions?
I believe life begins at conception and am committed to protecting it from conception to natural death. This shapes my opposition to abortion for both adults and minors, particularly late-term abortions, which raise significant ethical concerns. I recognize the complexity of cases involving rape, incest, or medical emergencies and support legislation that holds perpetrators accountable and provides compassionate care for victims. Rather than divisive rhetoric, I advocate for respectful dialogue, support for women and families, and a culture that values life.
- Do you support minors accessing gender-affirming medical treatments or surgeries without parental consent?
No, I oppose allowing minors under 18 to access gender-affirming treatments or surgeries. These interventions carry significant risks, and minors lack the maturity to make such irreversible decisions. I prioritize protecting children and believe parents should be involved in these deeply personal matters. My stance is rooted in safeguarding young people from potential harm while fostering age-appropriate support.
Final Thoughts
Minnesota deserves leadership that rejects corruption, protects our children, and restores integrity. I’m committed to ending white-collar crime, defending freedoms, and uplifting all Minnesotans through principled, servant leadership. Thank you for engaging in this vital conversation.
