What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

I have over 30 years experience as a healthcare professional. I am a former licensed Life and Health insurance agent and also owned my own healthcare compliance consulting business. My years at United Healthcare in Risk Management in the areas of Medicare and Billing provides me with the experience and knowledge on how to identify and solve complex problems facing all Minnesotans in healthcare.

In my view racism is not the issue. Racism has been attempted to be applied to the riots and destruction and everything when in fact it is just lawlessness and the destruction of our families.
