A: What is the responsibility of our elected officials to encourage Minnesotans to engage in respectful, civil discussions?

A: Our government is broken. We need to stop playing politics with people's lives and our economy.

Q: What steps will you take to build cooperation between parties and unify the country?

I will continue to do so when I am in Congress as a representative for all families in our district.
