I am doctor who has delivered hundreds of babies, I am a witness to miracles over and over again. I am pro-life, and also acknowledge exceptions to abortion restrictions in the future would include, but not be limited to, allegations of rape or incest, or circumstances endangering mental or physical health of the pregnant woman.

None. The COVID pandemic gave far too much power to state government, Tim Walz, and Keith Ellison. In turn, they abused that power and didn't listen to the concerns of our faith leaders. In fact it was the Catholic Church who pushed bask and forced a reopening. Government should not be in the business of closing churches, no matter the circumstance. It sets a dangerous precedent against religious freedom.

This is not a vital question for the governor of Minnesota.

C. Single payer healthcare will not solve the health care problems in Minnesota and will damage patient-doctor relationships. It will foster apathy, increase low value services utilization, undermine commitment to service, compromise quality of care, increase waiting time, and reduce provider career satisfaction. I worked diligently during my Senate term to introduce competition into the healthcare field by allowing for-profit insurance companies to operate in Minnesota, increasing pricing transparency in clinics and hospitals, and requiring pharmacy benefit managers to eliminate contractual gag clauses. Our current structure includes a public-private partnership which works well in some ways but poorly in others. Adopting a single-payer system would diminish individual Health Freedom, expand government intrusion, reduce system accountability, and erode patient empowerment. I strongly oppose single payer healthcare for Minnesota, but recognize the need for people to not go broke getting vital treatments they need.

Only if such a requirement is spelled out at the time of hiring. Otherwise, never.

In Minnesota, we need to eliminate the tax on social security income. We also must seriously consider eliminating the income tax completely. Minnesota has had a record $9-$10 Billion surplus. The government does not need more money in Minnesota; we must be smarter in the way we spend money! Minnesota is one of the highest-taxed states across the board. We absolutely must reform our corporate tax code and make Minnesota the most attractive state it can be for young talent, entrepreneurs and growing businesses. There are numerous taxes we have to cut or severely reduce if we're to be a competitive state in the midwest.

I would cut the waste, fraud and abuse found within numerous agencies in Minnesota. We continue to break spending records under DFL leadership - including Hundreds of millions of dollars in childcare fraud, wasted money with broken software projects, billions wasted on light rail projects which have failed and so much more. We also must look at our generous entitlement system in Minnesota and reform it so it encourages productivity and discourages wasteful spending.

Disagree

More dollars should go to families so they can make the best choice for their children, no matter income level or socioeconomic status. Many of our public school administrators and union bureaucrats have prioritized political indoctrination over solid education. After having kids locked out of school for 2 years, parents in Minneapolis should be able to take their kid and find a school that works best for them.

Agree

This is not applicable to the governor's race.

I support constitutional carry and stand your ground laws.

Disagree

Government is instituted for the security, benefit and protection of the people, in whom all political power is inherent, together with the right to alter, modify or reform government whenever required by the public good. Nothing more, nothing less.

Photo ID must be required to vote in Minnesota

Photo ID requirement to vote. Undue the unconstitutional consent decrees put forward by Steve Simon and Keith Ellison. Limit the window for early voting and late vote counting. Ban third-party voter interference like Zuckerbucks. Return to the time honored tradition of voting in person.

No. Racism is very real and must be condemned, but we live in a time where equality is close to reality. I support equal opportunity, but do not support an artificial push for equal outcomes. We must judge one another by the content of character and not skin color. I believe we have gotten much closer to Martin Luther King JR's vision for our country. The work is never done, but racism is not the threat it used to be in terms of tearing about our country.

Strongly Disagree

I am closer to option A on this question. In Minnesota, Tim Walz and the far-left DFL have unnecessarily restricted mining and farming at the expense of good jobs. I trust Minnesotans who work with the land every day to steward it best. I think we need to focus on practical ways to improve the cleanliness of our water and the the health of our grasslands and forests, but we have sacrificed practical conservation to extreme far-left ideology.

Strongly Agree
